Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 3 cups egg whites
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 4 slices low-fat turkey bacon
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 0.5 cup low-fat cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
• 0 olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray.

Step 2

In a medium pan, cook the turkey bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towels, and crumble into small pieces.

Step 3

In the same pan, add the diced red bell pepper and baby spinach. Sauté until the peppers are tender and the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and almond milk. Add the black pepper and salt to the egg mixture.

Step 5

Stir in the crumbled turkey bacon, sautéed vegetables, low-fat cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy bacon egg bites!
