Egg White Muffin Cups

Egg white muffin cups are your answer to a healthy, on-the-go breakfast that can be made ahead of time.  Great for meal prepping and staying on track with your diet, you can customize these egg white muffin cups with whatever protein and veggies that you love!

With just a few minutes of work, you can have breakfast ready for the whole week!  And these muffin cups freeze well too. I have made these muffin cups using everything from Canadian bacon and sweet mini bell peppers to sausage and mushrooms…the filling options are endless!

First…GREASE YOUR MUFFIN TIN GENEROUSLY!  Then add a layer of chopped veggies (mini bell peppers):

Add your chopped, cooked protein on top on the veggies:

Pour egg whites into each muffin cavity filling just shy of the top of the cavity:

Add your favorite seasoning, salt, pepper, etc on top and then bake!

Print Recipe
Serves: 12 Cooking Time: 32-34 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1-2 cups egg whites
  • 10 slices Canadian bacon, diced
  • 6-8 mini sweet bell peppers, deseeded and diced
  • salt, pepper and seasonings to taste

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350-degrees and generously spray a cupcake/muffin tin with baking spray. Set aside.

2

Add the diced bell peppers into the muffin tin, evenly dispersing the bell peppers into the bottom of the 12 cavities. Top the bell peppers with the diced Canadian bacon. Pour the egg whites over the layers of bell peppers and Canadian bacon, filling it just shy of the top. Sprinkle desired seasonings on top.

3

Bake muffins in 350-degree oven for 32-34 minutes or until egg whites are cooked through. Allow egg white muffins to cool and set in the pan for ten-minutes. Gently run a butter knife along the inside of each muffin cavity to loosen the muffin to pop them out.

Notes

Store egg muffins in the refrigerator in an air tight container. Reheat muffins in the microwave for approximately 1-2 minutes, checking every 30-seconds. To freeze, place cold egg muffins in a freezer safe bag and into the freezer. Allow frozen egg muffins to thaw in the refrigerator when ready to eat.

    These look fantastic! I try and add extra protein where I can – for whatever reason, cottage cheese works so well in egg cups!

    Thank you for this recipe! I have been making these for breakfast for a few weeks now. It is quick and easy and oh so yummy! I use pre-frozen bell pepper & onions & pre-diced ham to make it even faster. I have really enjoyed having a nutritious breakfast every morning.
