Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly spray a muffin tin with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, crack the 8 large eggs and whisk them until well beaten.
Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and add to the eggs.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and slice the green onions thinly, then add both to the egg mixture.
Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine all ingredients evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg bites are set in the middle and lightly browned on top.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before carefully removing the egg bites with a small spatula or knife.
Serve warm, or let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
