A simple, veggie-packed breakfast bake with egg whites, spinach, and feta cheese that is light, filling, and perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large egg whites (about 360 ml)
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped (about 120 g)
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 150 g)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rack in the middle position.
  2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced red bell pepper, green onions, and minced garlic. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and fragrant, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until frothy but not stiff, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Gently fold the sautéed vegetable mixture and crumbled feta into the egg whites, mixing evenly without over-mixing.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  8. If edges brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking.
  9. Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not over-whisk the egg whites to avoid rubbery texture. Sauté veggies until tender to remove excess moisture and prevent watery bake. Tent with foil if edges brown too fast. Let rest before slicing for easier serving. Can substitute feta with vegan cheese or omit for dairy-free. Add cooked quinoa or cauliflower rice for gluten-free boost.
