Instructions
1. Begin by preparing your vegetables: dice the red bell pepper, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the mushrooms, and chop the fresh parsley.
2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together egg whites with a pinch of salt and black pepper until slightly frothy.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Swirl the pan to ensure the oil is evenly distributed.
4. Add the diced red bell pepper and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften.
5. Add the fresh spinach to the pan and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.

7. Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the egg mixture, cut side up.
8. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the omelette to cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and cooked through.
9. Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half and slide it onto a serving plate.
