Ingredients
8 large egg whites (about 1⅔ cups)
⅓ cup cottage cheese
Garlic salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
¼ cup finely diced bell pepper
2 green onions, thinly sliced
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). - Prepare the egg mixture
In a medium bowl, combine the egg whites, cottage cheese, garlic salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly airy. - Add vegetables and cheese
Stir in the diced bell pepper, green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed. - Fill the muffin cups
Divide the mixture evenly among eight silicone muffin cups or a lightly greased muffin tin. - Bake

Allow the egg bites to cool for several minutes before removing them from the cups. Serve warm or store for later.
Notes
- Silicone muffin cups make removing the egg bites much easier.
- Whisk the egg whites and cottage cheese thoroughly for the best fluffy texture.
- Finely chop vegetables so they cook evenly inside the egg mixture.
- Allow the egg bites to cool slightly before removing them to help maintain their shape.
