INGREDIENTS

1.25 cup Egg whites

0.5 cup Low-fat cottage cheese

0.5 oz Monterey Jack cheese

0.25 cup Roasted red peppers

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.5 whole Avocado

1 tsp Avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and place a baking pan filled with one inch of water on the bottom rack to create a steam-bath environment.

• 2

  In a high-speed blender, combine the egg whites, cottage cheese, sea salt, and black pepper until the mixture is completely smooth and aerated.

• 3

  Lightly grease a silicone muffin tin with avocado oil to ensure the bites release easily after baking.

• 4

  Finely dice the roasted red peppers and shred the Monterey Jack cheese, then distribute them evenly into six of the muffin cups.

• 5

  Pour the blended egg mixture into the muffin cups, filling each one nearly to the top.

• 6

  Place the muffin tin on the middle rack above the water pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the centers are just set and no longer liquid.

• 7

  Allow the bites to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before gently popping them out.

• 8

  Slice the fresh avocado and serve it alongside the warm egg bites for a complete, protein-packed meal.
