Instructions

Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use six silicone liners to prevent sticking.
Blend the base
In a blender, combine the egg whites, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
Fill the muffin cups
Pour the blended egg white mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each approximately 3/4 full.
Add the toppings
Divide the sun-dried tomatoes, baby spinach, and diced bell peppers evenly among the muffin cups. Ensure the mix-ins are spread out for uniform flavor in every bite.
Bake
Bake the egg bites for 13-15 minutes or until the egg whites are set. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
Cool and serve
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool for a few minutes. Gently remove them from the tin. Serve warm or store for later use.

Notes

To store: Store the egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
To freeze: Once cooled, place the egg bites in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 6 months.
To reheat: Microwave the egg bites in 15-second intervals until warm.
Variations:
Cheese: Add 1/4 cup of feta, cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack cheese for extra flavor.
Protein: Include finely chopped and cooked bacon, diced ham, or turkey sausage.
Veggies: Try finely chopped green onions, garlic, chives, or cooked broccoli.
