What Kind of Muffin Pan Should I Use?

A nonstick muffin pan or silicone muffin tray works best for this recipe. Since there’s no oil or cheese to help with release, using a well-greased nonstick surface ensures your muffins come out cleanly. If you’re using paper liners, be sure to spray them lightly with oil to prevent sticking. A silicone muffin tray also offers the bonus of flexibility, making removal even easier after baking.

Ingredients for the Egg White Muffins with Veggies

These muffins are simple, but the ingredients you choose really make a difference. Fresh vegetables and quality egg whites deliver a light, clean flavor that works beautifully together. You can mix and match the veggies depending on what you enjoy or have on hand.

• Egg whites
• Spinach
• Red bell pepper
• Yellow bell pepper
• Red onion
• Cherry tomatoes
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Olive oil spray

The egg whites are the star here, offering a fluffy and high-protein base. Spinach wilts down and blends in effortlessly, adding a healthy dose of greens. Both red and yellow bell peppers bring natural sweetness and color, making each bite pop. Red onion gives a subtle kick and balance, while cherry tomatoes roast down slightly and add juicy bursts of flavor. Season everything with salt and black pepper, and don’t forget a little olive oil spray for easy release and a slight touch of richness.

How To Make the Egg White Muffins with Veggies

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your muffin tin with olive oil spray. Make sure your veggies are chopped into small, even pieces so they cook quickly and evenly.

Step 2: Sauté the Veggies

In a nonstick skillet, lightly sauté the bell peppers, onions, and spinach just until they begin to soften. This helps release moisture so your muffins stay firm and don’t get watery.

Step 3: Fill the Muffin Tins

Divide the cooked veggies evenly into the muffin cups. Add in a few pieces of halved cherry tomatoes to each one for added flavor and color.

Step 4: Pour in Egg Whites

Carefully pour the egg whites into each muffin cup, filling just below the rim. Season each with salt and black pepper.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the tops are slightly golden. Remove and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack or container.

How to Serve and Store These Muffins

These egg white muffins with veggies are a dream when it comes to serving and storing. They feed about 4 to 6 people, depending on portion size, and pair beautifully with a simple fruit salad or slice of whole-grain toast.

For storing, let them cool completely before placing in an airtight container. They stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days and freeze well for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply microwave for 20 to 30 seconds, or warm them in the oven at 300°F until heated through. They maintain their texture surprisingly well and are perfect for meal-prep.
