Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy; drain on paper towels.

Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Stir in the chopped bacon, shredded cheese, green onions, and bell pepper.

Pour the egg mixture evenly into the greased muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Use a knife to gently loosen the edges and remove the cups from the muffin tin.

Serve warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
