What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Clean Eating: Frittata Egg White Muffins! Egg whites are probably the most misunderstood superfood. They alone are responsible for muscle gain and brain function. The high protein content can boost immunity levels as well. So why is it people turn up their noses when you mention egg whites? Personally, I think it may have something to do with the extra work involved in separating the yolk from the white. As we have teeter-tottered back and forth between the medical community urging us to ditch the yolk because of its fatty content and then backpedaled with discoveries that perhaps now it had nothing to do with heart disease, is it any wonder we stand around scratching our heads? Long story short. Eggs aren’t unhealthy, so do what you want.
FRITTATA EGG WHITE MUFFINS
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups egg whites
2 tablespoons green peppers, diced
2 tablespoons red peppers, diced
2 tablespoons sweet onion, diced
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 thick slices bacon, precooked and crumbled
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, finely shredded
1 tablespoon chives, chopped
Alfalfa sprouts, for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick oil. Set aside. In a bowl, whisk together egg whites, green peppers, red peppers, sweet onion, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Fold in crumbled bacon and cheddar cheese. Divide the mixture evenly among the mini muffin pan cups. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until egg whites are fully cooked. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Loosen and remove from pan. Top each egg white frittata with chopped chives and alfalfa sprouts. Serve immediately.
These look really delicious! And they are pretty too!

Now, this is very imaginative, Gail. Looks very tempting, and I will try this, serving as a starter. Thank you.
As to the quote, it reminds me of the tale where the dying king gave his 5 sons sitting at his bedside, 5 willow twiggs, and asked each of them, in turn, to try and break it. They couldn’t and his advice to them was the quotation, you included above.
