Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 large egg whites (about 1½ cups)
  • 6 slices turkey bacon, chopped into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil spray or cooking spray, for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with olive oil spray. Chop the turkey bacon into small pieces and finely dice the bell peppers, onion, and spinach.
  2. Cook the Turkey Bacon and Veggies: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside. Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the same pan and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add spinach last and cook until just wilted.
  3. Mix Egg Whites and Seasonings: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites with salt and pepper until slightly frothy to incorporate air and make the muffins fluffy.
  4. Combine All the Ingredients: Add the cooked turkey bacon and sautéed veggies into the egg whites. Gently fold until evenly distributed, keeping the mixture light.
  5. Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, distributing it evenly among 12 cups. Fill each about three-quarters full to allow space for rising.
  6. Bake Until Set: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are firm and slightly golden on top. Insert a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.

Notes

  • Avoid overfilling muffin cups to ensure a nice rise and prevent overflow.
  • Pat dry veggies to remove excess moisture and avoid soggy muffins.
  • Use room temperature egg whites for even cooking and better texture.
  • Use a non-stick muffin tin or spray thoroughly for easy removal.
  • Adding a pinch of baking powder is optional but recommended for extra fluffiness.
