Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the egg whites. Whisk them together until well combined and slightly frothy.
Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper, and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables: chop the spinach, quarter the cherry tomatoes, dice the bell pepper, thinly slice the mushrooms, and finely chop the onion.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they soften.
Stir in the mushrooms and cook for another 2 minutes until they start to release moisture.
Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach to the skillet, cooking for 1 minute more or until the spinach wilts. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until they start to set on the edges.
Sprinkle the cooked vegetables evenly over one half of the omelet. If desired, sprinkle shredded low-fat cheese on top of the vegetables.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Press lightly to seal.
Cook for another 2 minutes until the cheese melts (if used) and the eggs are fully cooked through.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut as needed, and serve hot. Enjoy your protein-packed veggie omelet!
