Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and nonfat milk until well combined.
Add the spinach, diced bell pepper, green onions, shredded cheese, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Carefully pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiche cups are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the quiche cups to cool for a few minutes. Use a knife or small spatula to gently loosen the edges and remove them from the tin.
Serve immediately, or let them cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for a quick meal on the go.
