Copycat Egg White & Red Pepper Bites (Starbucks’ style)

An American breakfast built around egg whites and low-fat cottage cheese — on the table in 40 minutes. At 120 calories and 16g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. It scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Egg whites
• 3/4 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup Monterey jack
• 1/2 cup Roasted red peppers
• 1 cup Spinach
• 2 Green onions
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Hot sauce

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 300°F and set a kettle to boil; low heat and steam are what keep these custardy instead of rubbery.
2. Blend egg whites, cottage cheese, jack, and salt until completely smooth — silk in, silk out.
3. Divide peppers, spinach, and green onion among the cups of a silicone muffin tray; the fillings sink otherwise.
4. Pour the blend over, set the tray in a roasting pan, and add boiling water halfway up the sides. The water bath is non-negotiable.
5. Bake 25 minutes until just set with a slight jiggle in the center; they firm up as they cool.
6. Cool 10 minutes, pop them out, and refrigerate; they reheat in 30 seconds and beat the drive-thru line every time.
