Instructions

1

Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Prepare muffin tin

Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with silicone muffin liners.

Pro tip: Silicone liners ensure easy release and clean-up.

3

Mix ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, milk, salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined.

Pro tip: Whisking the egg whites thoroughly incorporates air and results in fluffier bites.

4

Add vegetables

Stir in the chopped bell peppers, spinach, and onions, ensuring they're evenly distributed.

Pro tip: Finely chopping the vegetables ensures they cook evenly.

5

Fill muffin cups

Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Pro tip: Use a ladle or measuring cup for easy pouring.

6

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg white bites are set and slightly golden on top.

Pro tip: Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the centre; it should come out clean.
