When I was in culinary school my favorite chef instructor asked me to bake this. I was incredibly intimidated and it was a lot of preparation at that time. The original recipe I used took 4 eggs and was delicious but very rich. The chef loved it, and I have since found a lighter version which I’ve modified a little. It’s really good. Make sure you have time to enjoy preparing this or you may get grumpy like I did recently when I made this while a bit droopy from a new exercise routine. It’s very good and worth the trouble…….
