Steamed rather than baked, so it sets at the texture of set cream instead of the texture of a quiche, and it is the gentlest thing anyone has ever eaten first thing.

Method

6 steps · 25 minutes

Beat the eggs without whisking air into them, then stir in the cooled stock. Foam on top becomes craters underneath.
Strain the mixture. This is the step people skip and the one that decides whether it is silky or grainy.
Divide between two bowls, cover each with foil, and steam over barely simmering water for 12 minutes.
Simmering hard will pit the surface. If the water is bouncing the lid, turn it down.
Sizzle the mushrooms in the sesame oil while it steams.
Spoon them over with the soy and scallions. It should wobble as one piece when you nudge the bowl.
