Ingredients

  • 450 g egg whites
  • 28 g ham low sodium; minced
  • 57 g swiss cheese diced
  • ½ cup red bell peppers chopped
  • ½ cup yellow bell pepper chopped
  • ¼ cup onions green chopped
  • tsp salt
  • tsp black pepper
  • 50 g eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a standard 12 cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the egg whites and whole eggs. Whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy. Season with black pepper and a pinch of salt.
  • Add the minced ham, diced swiss cheese, chopped red bell pepper, chopped yellow bell pepper, and chopped green onions to the egg mixture. Stir until everything is evenly distributed throughout.
  • Pour the mixture evenly into the 12 prepared muffin cups filling each one about three quarters of the way full.
  • Bake for 20 to 24 minutes until the egg bites are fully set in the center and the edges are just beginning to pull away from the sides of the cups. They should not jiggle when you gently shake the pan.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Run a small knife or silicone spatula around the edges of each cup if needed to help them release cleanly.
