Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add salt and black pepper, then whisk until well combined and the yolks and whites are fully blended.
Prepare the vegetables: dice the red bell pepper, chop the mushrooms, and finely chop the onion.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red bell pepper, mushrooms, and onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
Add the baby spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed vegetables.
Tilt the skillet to spread the eggs evenly across the pan. Allow the edges to set slightly, and use a spatula to gently lift the edges and let the uncooked eggs flow to the outer edges of the pan.
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over half of the omelette.
Carefully fold the unfilled half of the omelette over the cheese-covered half using a spatula.
Cook for an additional 1 minute or until the omelette is fully set and the cheese has melted.
Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut in half, and serve immediately.
