Easy, fluffy healthy egg white & cheese muffins

So I wanted something healthy & hearty for breakfast, but also light. I saw a lot of recipes for egg white muffins with peppers, tomatoes, etc. BUT I hate vegetables in my eggs. Weird, I know. Eventually I came across this original recipe and decided to spin it to make it healthier and more my taste. I've never been a fan of whole eggs, so using only the white was an easy choice.

The result was a light, fluffy tasty egg muffin with zero guilt for eating. I only made one,
 but you could double or quadruple the recipe easily.
