Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C).

Put a non-stick frying pan on medium heat without fat, and then put in a metal ring.

If you don't have metal ring, don't worry, use any pan you can find with non-stick bottom (otherwise put a sheet of greaseproof paper in the bottom) which can go both on the hob and in the oven.

Remarks
The ideal utensil for this recipe is a non-stick frying pan with removable handle.

Serve with a herb salad on the side, as I think that something with a hint of acidity makes a good accompaniement.
