starbucks egg white cups
so yesterday cal and i were talking about how OVER granola bars for breakfast we both are. i was like "man, i'd give anything to eat those starbucks egg whites for breakfast everyday." cal agreed and encouraged me to try to find a way to make them. so today, as i sat in the bathtub, i ordered groceries to be delivered (THANK YOU INSTACART!!!!!! and if you haven't tried it yet, here's a coupon for $10 in free groceries, or use code "HDAVIS2B61E2" ) and an hour later they were here. (p.s. you can and should waive that 10% service fee at checkout, it does NOT go to your shopper).
so i started by googling what was in them. it seemed pretty basic. what did not seem basic was cooking sous vide eggs. something about putting the egg in a bag while you cook it?! i dont know. clearly i'm not a chef and have no idea what "sous vide" means or even how you say it. but i knew you could make eggs in a bowl in the microwave because i remember my mom doing it for us when we were little. so i decided to try to make them in mini baking cups. this recipe was perfect for 24 mini cups.
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE 24 MINIS:
1 red pepper
1 cup of shredded cheese (optional)
1/2 cup of chopped spinach
himalayan salt
pepper
16 oz of egg whites
start by dicing the red pepper and the spinach while you preheat the over to 350 degrees. (i used frozen spinach so that i could continue to use it to make these throughout the month.) be sure and spray down the cups...even nonstick cups.
fill each of the cups about 1/2 full with the egg whites.
add as much or little of the spinach, red pepper, cheese, salt, and pepper as you prefer.
give each cup a little stir and stick in the oven for about 15 minutes!
enjoy! or divide out for each morning and give them a quick reheat when you want them.
