Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and finely slice the green onions.
Evenly distribute the chopped bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions into the muffin cups.
Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.
Remove the breakfast cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
Run a butter knife around the edges of the muffins to release them from the tin.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20–30 seconds before serving.
