Eggs are a very good source of inexpensive, high quality protein. More than half the protein of an egg is found in the egg white along with vitamin B2 and lower amounts of fat and cholesterol than the yolk. The whites are rich sources of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper. Skipping the egg yolk lowers your dietary cholesterol. A whole egg carries up to 74 calories, egg white 17 calories.

Salt and pepper
18 eggs which will equals about 2 cups egg whites
1 teaspoon onion powder

In a large bowl, whisk your egg whites, add onion powder, and fresh parsley, salt, and peppers.
Lightly spray 8 to 10 cupcake moulds with nonstick spray, spread vegetables evenly over bottom of baking pan. Pour egg mixture evenly over vegetables.
