In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and low-fat milk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Stir in the spinach, red bell pepper, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and parsley to the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the skillet is evenly coated with oil.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the egg mixture cook for about 5 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the top begins to cook through.
Once the bottom is set and lightly browned, carefully flip the egg patty using a spatula.
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the patty is cooked through and fluffy.
Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute before cutting into four equal portions.
Serve warm as part of a breakfast sandwich, or enjoy it on its own.
