# What You Need:
→ Eggs
01 - 6 large egg whites
→ Vegetables
02 - 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
03 - 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
04 - 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
05 - 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves

# Directions:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the egg whites with salt and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until frothy.
02 - Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add red onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms; sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until vegetables are softened.
