Instructions

Step 1

Heat oven to 350°. Whisk eggs and sugar in a bowl until pale and lightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add cheese, zest, vanilla, and salt; whisk until smooth. Pour into a greased 9″ x 13″ glass baking dish, and bake until barely set in the middle, about 35 minutes. Transfer to broiler and broil on high until browned, about 2 minutes; let cool before cutting into squares to serve.
