In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature while the oven heats. Bake, uncovered, for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
