Begin by preparing all the vegetables. Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat it dry. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red bell pepper, and finely chop the red onion.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt and black pepper until frothy. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped red onion and cook for about 2 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the red bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes until the pepper softens.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Add the spinach and let it wilt, stirring occasionally, which should take about 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to low and gently pour in the egg whites. Tilt the skillet to ensure the egg whites cover the entire surface and the vegetables are evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the feta cheese evenly over the omelette along with the dried oregano.
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the omelette to cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the egg whites are set and the feta has melted slightly.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, folding it in half as you do. Serve immediately while hot.
