How to make Egg White Spinach Muffins

Egg white spinach muffins are an easy, wholesome option for busy mornings and meal prep. They bake into tender little egg cups with fresh spinach, herbs, and a light cheesy finish. Simple to customize and quick to reheat, they make breakfast feel fresh, nourishing, and satisfying.

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 6-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray.
  2. 2In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with cottage cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. 3Stir in the chopped spinach, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onion, and parsley.
  4. 4Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared muffin cups.
  5. 5Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the muffins are puffed, set, and lightly golden around the edges.
  6. 6Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  7. 7Run a small knife around the edges and gently lift them out.
  8. 8Serve warm or let them cool completely for meal prep.
