Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups liquid egg whites
  • 1 1/4 cups cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup white cheddar cheese grated
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper finely diced
  • 4 precooked turkey sausage patties diced
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Hot sauce optional
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Add the egg whites, cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, and optional hot sauce to a blender. Blend just until smooth.
  3. Combine the diced turkey sausage, red bell pepper, grated white cheddar, and sliced green onions in a bowl.
  4. Divide the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly between the 12 muffin cups.
  5. Pour the blended egg white mixture evenly over the fillings, leaving a little space at the top of each cup.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the centers are fully set.
  7. Let the egg white bites cool in the pan for a few minutes, then carefully remove and serve warm.

Notes

  • Blend the egg whites and cottage cheese only until smooth to avoid incorporating too much air.
  • Finely chop the fillings so they distribute evenly throughout the bites.
  • Drain or cook high-moisture vegetables before adding them.
  • Grease the muffin pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  • Freshly separated egg whites can replace carton egg whites when measured to the same volume.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the turkey sausage and add vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, or extra bell pepper.
  • Store cooled egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3–4 days.
  • Egg bites can also be frozen after cooling completely.
  • Nutrition values are approximate and can vary depending on the brands of cottage cheese, cheddar, and turkey sausage used.
  • This recipe makes 12 egg white bites, with 2 bites per serving.
