Ingredients

  • 5 egg whites
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup skim milk or almond milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped kale
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted red peppers
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

Directions: Egg Muffins with Kale, Roasted Red Peppers, and Feta Cheese

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial for ensuring that your muffins rise beautifully and cook evenly.
  • Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners. This will prevent the egg muffins from sticking and make for easier cleanup.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the 5 egg whites, 2 large eggs, and 1/4 cup of skim or almond milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Using a whisk, beat the mixture until it is well combined and slightly frothy.
  • Fold in the chopped green onion, fresh kale, roasted red peppers, and crumbled feta cheese into the egg mixture. Make sure the vegetables are evenly distributed for a burst of flavor in every bite.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. This allows room for the muffins to rise without overflowing.
  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for a few minutes before gently removing them from the tin. Serve warm or store them for later!
