In a medium bowl, crack the whole eggs and separate additional egg whites. Whisk together until well combined.
Add salt and black pepper to the egg mixture, and whisk again to incorporate the seasonings.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the spinach, cherry tomatoes, and sliced green onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes have softened.
Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure an even distribution.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the omelette.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes until the eggs are set and the cheese has melted.
Fold the omelette in half and slide it onto a serving plate.
Serve immediately with your choice of toast or salad.
