Featuring fresh vegetables, tangy goat cheese, and a blend of herbs, this omelet is both satisfying and easy to make.

Instructions:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook until they are tender and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the 1.5 cups of roughly chopped spinach and cook until wilted, 2-3 minutes. Season with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Transfer the cooked vegetables to a plate and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 2 egg whites until frothy.
- Lightly season with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Wipe out the skillet if needed and lightly coat it with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook over medium heat. As the eggs begin to set, gently move a spatula around the edges and tilt the pan to let the uncooked eggs flow to the edges.
- Cook until the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny in the center, about 2-3 minutes.
- Scatter the vegetable mixture evenly over one half of the omelet.
- Sprinkle 1 ounce of crumbled goat cheese over the vegetables.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling.
- Cook for another minute or until the cheese is slightly melted and the omelet is heated through.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Garnish with additional herbs if desired and serve immediately.
