Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the mushrooms and dice the red bell pepper.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks if using whole eggs.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and diced red bell pepper to the skillet.
- Sauté the vegetables for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender and the mushrooms have released their moisture and started to brown.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with a dash of salt and black pepper until slightly frothy.
- Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the skillet.
- Pour the egg whites into the skillet, ensuring they spread out evenly over the bottom.
- Allow the egg whites to set for about 2-3 minutes without stirring, or until they are mostly cooked through but still slightly runny on top.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the egg whites and the vegetable mixture.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half to cover the filling.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the egg whites are fully cooked.

Tips:
- For a fluffier omelet, whisk the egg whites until frothy before adding them to the pan.
- Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking to ensure a smooth and quick process.
- Cook the vegetables until they're tender but still crisp to retain their flavor and texture.
- If you prefer, substitute the cheddar cheese with another type of cheese like Swiss or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the omelet from sticking and to make flipping easier.
