Follow these simple steps to prepare your egg white muffins with spinach and tomatoes:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) to ensure itโs ready when youโre done preparing the ingredients.
- Prepare the Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Alternatively, use silicone muffin liners for easy removal.
- Sautรฉ the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of olive oil. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sautรฉing until the onions are translucent. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

- Assemble the Muffins: Distribute the sautรฉed vegetables evenly among the muffin cups. Add a few halved cherry tomatoes to each cup and sprinkle with cheese.
- Pour the Egg Whites: Carefully pour the egg white mixture into each muffin cup, filling about three-quarters full.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the tops are slightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature.
