Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spinach Egg White Muffins.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give your muffin cups a light spray with cooking spray to ensure easy removal later.
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a skillet and heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Toss in the fresh spinach and sauté it until it’s beautifully wilted, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 4
Once it’s done, take it off the heat and let it cool for a moment before squeezing out any excess moisture—this step is key to keeping your muffins from getting soggy.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and yolks until they’re well blended.
Step 6
Next, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, a generous handful of shredded Mexican cheese blend, a sprinkle of garlic powder, and a pinch of sea salt.
Step 7
Don’t forget to fold in that cooled spinach until everything is nicely combined.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to pour this delicious egg mixture into your prepared muffin cups, filling them almost to the brim for a delightful rise.
Step 9
For a little extra magic, place the muffin tin on a rimmed baking sheet and add water to the sheet until it reaches halfway up the sides of the muffin tin—this water bath will help your muffins bake evenly and stay moist.
Step 10
Slide the whole setup into your preheated oven and let them bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are set in the center and a lovely golden color.
Step 11
Once they’re done, allow them to cool slightly before gently removing them from the tin.
Step 12
Enjoy these savory muffins as a perfect breakfast treat or a delightful snack throughout the day!.
