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.

Stage 11 - ⌛ 5 min.
When frying pan is quite hot, pour in the egg mix and cook like this for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Stage 12 - ⌛ 10 min.
Then put in the oven for about 10 minutes, check cooking like for a cake.
Stage 13 - ⌛ 1 min.
Don't hesitate to finish under the grill to brown the top.
Stage 14 - ⌛ 1 min.
Remove the ring (if used) by passing a knife blade all around it, between omelette and metal sides.
Stage 15
Serve preferably with a small green salad, French dressing and herbs.
Stage 16
A possible variation, tomato souflée omelette: pour half the mixture into pan, then add a layer of cooked tomato slices (pan-fried beforehand in a little olive oil), and finally add the remaining mix. Then cook and serve as usual.
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.

Noisette butter
"Noisette" means hazelnut in French. Noisette butter is made by melting butter, then boiling and raising it to a high temperature until it takes on both a light brown hazelnut colour and also a characteristic nutty smell. Compared with simple clarified butter, this noisette butter has a delicate yet distinctive flavour which is a welcome addition to both savoury and sweet recipes (particularly in cakes and pastries).
