Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, whisk together 8 beaten large eggs, 1/4 cup whole milk, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper.

Add 3/4 of the 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese to the egg mixture and stir to combine. Reserve the remaining cheese for topping.
