Preheat the oven to 200Β°C (400Β°F). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin with cooking spray.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a clean, floured surface. Cut the sheets into 8 evenly sized squares.
Gently press each pastry square into the prepared muffin tin, forming small pastry cups. Trim any excess pastry hanging over the edges.
In a medium non-stick frying pan, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels. Once cool, chop the bacon into small pieces.
Finely chop the green onions and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Sprinkle the chopped bacon and green onions evenly across the pastry cups in the muffin tin.
Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly into each prepared pastry cup, filling about three-quarters full. Be careful not to overfill to prevent spillage while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20β25 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and the pastry is golden and puffed.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the pies to cool for 5 minutes. Gently remove each pie from the muffin tin and place on a wire rack to cool slightly.
Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving, if desired.
