    Ingredients needed to make this recipe

    Bowl of egg whites with a bowl of spinach, bowl of sliced mushrooms, bowl of chopped green peppers and a bowl of shredded cheddar cheese in front of it on a white surface.

    How to make egg white muffins

    1. Prep the veggies. Chop up the mushrooms, peppers and spinach.
    2. Sauté the mushrooms. This is very easy to do. Heat up about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium size pan then add in the sliced mushrooms and cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes. Add in a pinch of salt and pepper and toss them in the pan right at the end to get them nice and golden brown. Set them aside to cool.
    3. Combine everything together. Add the mushrooms, spinach, peppers and 3/4 of the cheese to a mixing bowl along with the egg whites and stir everything together to make the muffin mixture. Sprinkle in the chives and some salt and pepper.
    4. Pour into a muffin pan. Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to pour the mixture into the muffin cups evenly. It should fill up all 12 muffin cups about 3/4 of the way full.
    5. Bake. Cook these egg white muffins at 350 degrees F for 22-25 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the edges of each muffin are lightly golden brown. Remove and let cool for a few minutes.
    6. Serve. Run a butter knife around the edges of each muffin to carefully release them from the pan. Serve warm ad enjoy! Expert tip: To ensure they do not stick to the pan, make sure to coat the muffin cavities really well before pouring in the filling and let them cool completely before trying to lift them from the pan.
    • Round wooden cutting board with sliced mushrooms, chopped green peppers and chopped spinach on it with a knife on the edge of the board.
      Prep the veggies
    • Cast iron pan filled with sliced cooked mushrooms with a wooden spoon behind it and a grey cloth in front of it.
      Sauté the mushrooms
    • Round white bowl filled with egg whites, spinach, mushrooms and cheddar cheese with a whisk next to it.
      Make the egg white mixture
    • Hand sprinkling shredded cheddar cheese onto raw egg white muffins in a grey muffin tin
      Pour into muffin cups and top with cheese
    • Uncooked veggie egg white muffins in a grey muffin tin
    • Baked egg white muffins with green and yellow in them in a grey muffin pan with herbs sprinkled on top of them
      Bake

    Storing tips

    You can easily make these veggie loaded egg white muffins ahead and store them for up to 3 days for quick and healthy breakfasts and snacks all week long or freeze them for up to 30 days.

    To store them in the refrigerator, let the muffins cool completely and place them into an airtight container lined with a clean papaer towel to help whisk any moisture that may get on them while being refrigerated. Keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    To freeze these egg muffins, transfer them to a freezer-friendly bag or container and keep them in the freezer for up one month.

    Reheating these egg white muffins

    You can reheat these mini quiche egg white muffins in minutes in the microwave. To reheat them place them onto a clean plate and heat them on high for 30-45 seconds if refrigerated and 60 seconds or longer if reheating from a frozen state in the microwave.

    Serving suggestions

    These egg white muffins are great on their own or with a side of fresh fruit. Here are some other yummy recipes that also pair great with these egg white muffins.

    • Enjoy them with a Mixed Berry Smoothie or a Simple Green Smoothie for even more fiber and vitamins.
    • Serve them as a side dish with some Almond Flour Pancakes or some Oatmeal Banana Pancakes.
    • Pair them with some Avocado Toast for a healthy family breakfast even the kids will love!

    Recipe variations

    • Switch up the veggies. You can really use any veggies you have on hand in this recipe. You want to make sure to cook most veggies first before you add them to the egg whites and chop them up so they can easily fit in the muffin cups. I like to use zucchini, tomatoes, corn, Broccoli and chopped red onion as veggie alternatives in this recipe.
    • Add in some more protein. You can also add in some cooked sausage, bacon or even some ground turkey.
    • To make this recipe Whole30-frienldy simply leave out the cheese.

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
