Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Rub a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 tbsp butter.
Step 2
Whisk eggs with sugar and lemon zest until pale and thick, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Fold quark and cornstarch into eggs until just combined—don't overmix.
Step 4
Pour mixture into the buttered skillet. Dot the top with remaining 2 tbsp butter.
Step 5
Bake until the top is golden brown and the center jiggles only slightly, 12–14 minutes.
Step 6
Let rest 2 minutes. Serve warm, cut into wedges.
