Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray, ensuring each cup is evenly coated to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, crack 6 whole eggs and add 4 egg whites. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
Add the diced red bell pepper, chopped spinach, shredded zucchini, and sliced green onions to the egg mixture. Stir gently to evenly distribute the vegetables.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, and stir to combine.
Carefully pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg muffins are puffed up and set in the center. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin—it should come out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the tin. Then, run a small knife around the edges of each muffin to release them and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.
