Ingredients

16 egg whites lightly beaten
1 capsicum large
1 cup baby spinach leaves firmly packed
12 slices ham (deli) *optional
1/2 cup corn kernels
1 pinch salt and pepper *to taste
1 tsp coconut oil for greasing

Method

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven on fan-forced to bake at 180C. Grease a 12-hole muffin tray with coconut oil and then press one slice of ham into each hole.
Step 2

Pour beaten eggs and vegetables into a mixing bowl. Add salt and pepper and seasonings to taste, then give it a good mix. Spoon filling into each muffin hole to the top, however if using whole eggs, make sure to leave a finger width gap at the top, because the cups will expand.
Step 3

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edge of the egg cups turns golden. Serve hot or cold.

Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

You can purchase a carton of egg whites from Coles or Woolworths, which is the equivalent to 16 egg whites.You can also use 6 whole eggs if you'd prefer.

I've listed the usual suspects of ingredients, but I mix it up every week to keep things exciting. I often fry up bacon when I have extra time, or use chopped fresh spinach.

These will last in the freezer for up to 10 days.
