Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or ghee to prevent sticking.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, chop into small pieces.
In the same skillet, sauté the spinach until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the coconut milk until well combined.
Dice the red bell pepper and add it to the egg mixture along with the cooked spinach, chopped bacon, sliced green onion, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Pour the egg 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 egg bites are set and the tops are lightly golden.
Allow the egg bites to cool in the pan for a few minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm, or let them cool completely and store in an airtight container in the fridge for a quick and easy grab-and-go breakfast.
