Whisk the eggs slightly, season with salt and pepper to taste, add the milk and whisk again to combine.
Pour over the egg mixture, cover with clingfilm and refrigerate overnight.

Notes

You can definitely bake it straight away, no need to be refrigerated unless you want to make it the night before, just to save you some time in the morning. Otherwise, once all is prepared, it can go straight in the oven.
Don't bake it at high temperature though, better to leave it at 170 degrees Celsius, or 340 Fahrenheit, otherwise the top will brown too quickly, while the egg mixture won't be set completely.
My dish is a small square one, I think it measures approximately 6.5x6.5 inches, so 17x17 cm. Double up the amounts if you have a larger family. I certainly enjoyed it, and I can see myself making it again. That's the kind of food my father would absolutely love, I must make it for him when he comes to visit.
