Egg whites are low in calories, high in protein and – best of all – packaged in cartons! Their convenient carton packaging takes up less space in the fridge, keeps clean-up to a minimum and is extremely recyclable. We gathered a few of our favorite egg white based recipes for you to indulge in:

Veggie Egg White Omelet
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup spinach
- 1 tablespoon chopped basil
- 1/2 cup egg whites
- 2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
- Add olive oil to pan; add cherry tomatoes, basil and spinach. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes or until spinach and basil begin to wilt. Remove tomatoes, basil and spinach mixture from pan. Set aside.
- Pour liquid egg whites into same pan. Cook over medium-low heat, lifting edge of egg whites and pulling them toward center while lifting pan to allow uncooked egg to cover pan. Repeat as needed 1-2 minutes or until egg white mixture is set.
- Spoon spinach, cherry tomato and basil mixture onto omelet, topping with ½ of the cheese; fold omelet in half. Place onto serving plate; sprinkle with additional shredded cheese, if desired.

Classic Meringue Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup egg whites
- 2 1/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Butter and flour a baking sheet.
- Whip egg whites until foamy using an electric mixer. Add vanilla and sprinkle in sugar a little at a time, while continuing to whip at medium speed. When the mixture becomes stiff and shiny like satin, stop mixing, and transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag. Pipe the meringue out onto the prepared baking sheet using a decorative tip.
- Place the meringues in the oven and place a wooden spoon handle in the door to keep it from closing all the way. Bake for 3 hours, or until the meringues are dry. Allow cookies to cool.
- Recycle the carton!
