Ingredients

  • Egg Whites: Gotta have 8 of these that’s around 1 cup or 240 ml.
  • Fresh Spinach: Grab a cup 30 grams and give it a good chop.
  • Cherry Tomatoes: Take ½ cup or about 75 grams and halve ’em.
  • Feta Cheese: This stuff’s the bomb! ¼ cup 60 grams crumbled should do.
  • Salt ‘n Pepper: Just a pinch or ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) of each.
  • Olive Oil: 1 tbsp 15 ml should be plenty.
  • Balsamic Glaze: Ooh fancy! 2 tbsp (30 ml) to drizzle.

Instructions

  • Preheat that oven of yours to 375°F (190°C).
  • Whisk the egg whites like there’s no tomorrow until they’re frothy.
  • Toss in some salt and pepper and whisk again. Don’t hold back!
  • Grab a pan, pour in that olive oil, and sauté your spinach. Wait for it to wilt – about 2-3 minutes.
  • Toss in those cherry tomatoes. Give ’em 2 minutes of fame in the pan.
  • Now, the feta cheese! Mix it up with the veggies.
  • Pour this whole concoction into the egg whites. Stir it up!
  • Scoop this mix into muffin tins. No overfilling, okay? Two-thirds full is the sweet spot.
  • Pop them in the oven and wait… 20-25 minutes should do the trick.
  • Once they’re firm on top, they’re good to go. Let them chill for a bit, though.
  • That balsamic glaze? Drizzle time. Don’t be shy!

Notes

Grease that muffin tin well. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself later.
Spice it up with different veggies if you’re feeling adventurous.
Whisking is key. The more you whisk, the fluffier they’ll be.
That balsamic glaze is gold. Drizzle while they’re hot for that sweet and warm sensation.
