Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk until smooth. Add salt and black pepper, whisking again to combine.
Evenly distribute the bell pepper, spinach, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cheddar cheese across the muffin cups.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese, filling each muffin cup about three-quarters full.
Carefully place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are puffed and fully cooked throughβa toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.
Run a knife around the edges of the muffins to loosen them, and gently lift them out of the muffin cups.
Serve warm, or let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
