Preparation
1. Heat oven to 350°. Coat an 8 x 8–inch glass baking dish or pie plate with ½ tbsp oil.

3. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, lemon zest and juice, ½ tsp pepper, and salt. Pour over vegetables. Sprinkle yeast on top. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until center is firm. Turn oven to broil on high, and cook for 2 minutes. Let cool.
