Spinach Feta Egg White Cups
- 16 ounce carton of liquid egg whites
- 4 Tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
- 3/4 cup chopped fresh spinach
Instructions
- Spray 8 muffin cups with cooking spray. If you're using a 12 cup muffin tin, you will end up with 4 empty cups. Fill any cups you aren't using halfway with water. This is to keep even heating in your pan. If I can't fill all of the cups in any recipe, I always fill them with some water.
- Place a 1/2 Tablespoon of feta crumbles into each of the 8 empty cups.
- Top with a spoonful of chopped fresh spinach, if desired.
- Shake your carton of egg whites, then fill each of your cups, dividing the egg whites evenly amongst them. I leave about 1/4 inch of room at the top.
- Place in a cold oven and set heat to 325 degrees F. Bake for 15-25 minutes until eggs are just beginning to puff up, but still have a slight jiggle in the center.
- Remove from oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes. I use a small rubber spatula to go around the edges of the cup and then just scoop the eggs out. It's easier to remove the eggs when they are still warm.
- Serve immediately or allow to cool and store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
* If you prefer starting your eggs in a preheated oven, check them at 10 minutes and then judge the balance of your time since the cook time will be faster.
*I always make a triple batch of these and completely fill two muffin pans. It takes the same amount of time and I have breakfast ready to go for 3 days.
*I don't recommend freezing these as it does affect the quality and texture of the eggs. I've done it in a pinch, but they are so easy to make, I've found that the short term storage in the refrigerator works perfectly for me and does not compromise the texture or quality.
