Ingredients
  

8 large egg whites

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

4 slices of bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking spray or olive oil, for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it heats, take a muffin tin and lightly grease each cup with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Cook the Bacon: In a medium skillet set over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they become crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before crumbling it into small pieces.

      Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, add the egg whites. Use a whisk to blend them with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously to incorporate air into the mixture, which will help create fluffy muffins.

        Combine Fillings: Carefully fold the chopped spinach, crumbled bacon, and halved cherry tomatoes into the egg mixture using a spatula. If you are including cheese, sprinkle it in at this stage and mix until everything is just combined—be gentle to keep the mixture airy.

          Fill Muffin Tin: Using a ladle or measuring cup, evenly distribute the egg mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow for expansion during baking.

            Bake: Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and the edges have turned a delightful golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. This will make them easier to remove without breaking. After cooling slightly, carefully lift each muffin out and serve warm, or allow them to reach room temperature for serving.

                Storage: Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you want to keep them longer, they can be frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply place them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
