How to make Pizza Egg White Muffins

Pizza egg white muffins are a fun, savory way to enjoy pizza flavor in a lighter, protein-packed bite. The fluffy egg white base bakes up tender with melted cheese, tomato sauce, and mini pepperoni on top. They are great for meal prep, quick breakfasts, or a satisfying snack that feels comforting without being heavy.

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, cottage cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. 3Stir in half of the mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan cheese.
4. 4Divide the egg white mixture evenly between the prepared muffin cups.
5. 5Bake for 12 minutes, until the muffins are mostly set but still pale on top.
6. 6Spoon a little pizza sauce over each muffin.
7. 7Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni.
8. 8Return to the oven and bake for 6 to 8 more minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
9. 9Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
10. 10Run a small knife around the edges and gently remove them from the tin.
11. 11Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve warm.

Tips for the best result

• Use a silicone muffin pan or grease the tin generously for easy removal
• Do not add too much sauce or the muffins can turn watery
• Bake the egg base slightly before adding toppings for a better pizza-style finish
• Let the muffins rest before removing them so they hold their shape
• Reheat in an air fryer for a lightly crisp top
