Ingredients
  

6 large egg whites

4 strips of cooked bacon, chopped

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work great)

1/4 cup diced onion

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Salt to taste

Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing muffin tin

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with silicone liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray or a brush of olive oil.

    Prepare the Bacon: Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces. If using leftover bacon, ensure that it’s chopped into small bits.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In a small skillet, add a little olive oil or cooking spray over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add the fresh spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.

        Mix the Egg Whites: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

          Combine Ingredients: Add the crumbled bacon, sautéed onion and spinach, and shredded cheese to the egg white mixture. Stir gently to combine.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the egg white mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the egg whites have set and the tops are lightly golden.

                Cool & Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully remove them. Serve warm or allow to cool completely before storing.

                  Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast on-the-go!
