Easy Egg White Bite Recipe

Here's a very easy recipe that I started making last year & make almost every week now.

I make a batch before my work week & take them to work & keep them in the fridge. I eat 4-6 of them most days for a total of about 115 calories & approximately 20 grams of protein.



What you will need:
- Mini size cupcake or muffin pan (x24)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped veggies (I use spinach or zucchini, but you can use anything you want)
- Half of a large egg white carton, or a whole small one (about 2&1/2 cups of egg whites)
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/4 cup of cheese (I started with mozzarella, then tried cheddar, now use Parmesan. You don't need to use as much to get big flavor.)
- Cooking spray
- Optional: Some people may like to sprinkle pepper, or put Tapatio or salsa on at the end

What to do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Spray tin
- Sprinkle veggies in first, no more than 1/4 the way up
- Put tomatoes in second. This should fill about halfway.
- Pour egg whites in. They should go at least 3/4ths of the way up, but not all the way to the top.
- Sprinkle cheese on top
- Bake for 13-15 minutes
- Let cool in pan.

Can be eaten after removed from pan, or stored in Ziplock Storage or Tupperware for up to a week. Quick & easy filling snack. Lots of protein. Super low in fat (the small amount of cheese.) Low in carbs & contain some vitamins from the veggies! Each one is only about 20 calories, less than 1 gram each of fat & carbs, & about 3 grams of protein. That's why I eat 4-6 at a time guilt-free! :)

Hope you like!
