Pour milk into the measuring cup with the whisked eggs until the total liquid reaches the 1 1/2 cups mark. Whisk again to thoroughly combine the eggs and milk. This creates the 'magic ratio' for the quiche custard.

Place the pie plate containing the quiche onto a baking sheet. This helps to catch any potential spills and makes it easier to transfer the quiche in and out of the oven.

Bake in the preheated 400°F oven for 30 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden brown. The center should have a slight jiggle but not be liquid.

Once baked, carefully remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the quiche to set further and makes for cleaner slices.
