1. Prep the cherry tomatoes by slicing them into halves. Finely chop the red onion and mince the garlic. Rinse and pat dry the spinach leaves.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy. Season with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Swirl the pan to coat the surface evenly.
4. Add the chopped red onion and garlic to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
5. Toss in the cherry tomatoes and spinach leaves. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften slightly.
6. Pour the whisked egg whites over the cooked vegetables, tilting the pan to spread them evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the eggs are set.
7. Carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula and slide it onto a plate.
8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
