Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large egg whites (about 240 ml)
- 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and diced
- 1 cup (about 150 grams) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or basil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for roasting tomatoes
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
- Optional: ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.
- In a medium bowl, whisk egg whites until slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Gently fold in diced avocado, roasted cherry tomatoes (reserve a few for topping if desired), chopped herbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes or smoked paprika.
- Lightly grease each cup of a muffin tin with oil or non-stick spray. Pour the egg white mixture evenly into 8-10 muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
- Optionally, place a roasted cherry tomato half on top of each cup.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until set and slightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Let the frittata cups cool for a few minutes in the tin before removing and serving.
Notes
Whisk egg whites until frothy for fluffier texture. Roast tomatoes separately to avoid sogginess. Fold avocado gently to keep chunks intact. Adjust baking time if using whole eggs. Store leftovers in airtight container up to 4 days in fridge or freeze up to 2 months. Reheat gently to avoid drying out.
