Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
Chop the low-fat chicken sausage into small cubes and finely dice the red bell pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites until fully combined.
Add in the skim milk, salt, and black pepper, then mix well.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken sausage until lightly browned. Remove from heat.
Distribute the cooked sausage evenly among the muffin cups.
Sprinkle the chopped red bell pepper and green onions evenly over the sausage.
Pour the egg mixture gently over the sausage and vegetables in each muffin tin, filling them about 3/4 full.
Top each egg bite with a small amount of the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature. These can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.
