Step 3
Heat oil in an ovenproof nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and reduce the heat to medium.

Let it cool for 5 minutes in the pan, and then loosen the edge with a spatula and slide onto a large plate. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
