Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and spinach to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still retain their vibrant colors.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the frothy egg whites over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let the omelet cook undisturbed until the edges start to set, about 3-5 minutes.
- Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the skillet to allow the uncooked egg whites to flow underneath. Continue this process until no liquid egg whites remain.
- Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are completely set, then carefully fold the omelet in half.
- Serve the omelet hot, garnished with some fresh herbs if desired. A side of whole grain toast or a green salad would complement this dish beautifully.
