In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until combined.

Stir in crumbled feta cheese, chopped spinach, diced red bell pepper, and chopped onion.

Add sliced black olives and diced tomatoes to the mixture.

Season with salt, black pepper, and baking powder, then mix well.

Evenly distribute the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Top each omelet with diced zucchini and a sprinkle of parsley.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the omelets are set and lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before gently removing from the tin.

Serve warm or allow to cool completely and store in the refrigerator for meal prep.
