Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a medium skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the finely diced red bell pepper and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent and the peppers are softened.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted.
Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are frothy.
Add the ground black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano to the eggs, and mix well.
Fold the sautéed vegetables into the egg mixture, followed by the shredded unsalted cheese.
Divide the egg mixture evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg puffs are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the egg puffs from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing.
Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium egg puffs.
