-1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups chopped fresh broccoli
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Line 10-inch quiche dish or 9-inch pie plate with pastry. Prick bottom
and corners of pastry with fork. Bake in 450°F oven 5 minutes. Remove
from oven; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Layer half the
broccoli over Parmesan cheese. Continue with layers of half Swiss cheese
and scallions; repeat with remaining broccoli, Swiss cheese, and
scallions.
Beat eggs. Add chicken broth, cream, salt, and Tabasco; mix well.
(I also like to put in some pepper as
well.) Pour
over broccoli mixture in pastry shell. Sprinkle with remaining 2
tablespoons Parmesan cheese.
Bake 10 minutes at 450°F. Reduce heat to 325°F; bake 20 to 25 minutes
longer or until knife inserted in center of pie comes out clean. Let
stand 5 to 10 minutes before cutting. Yield 10 to 12 servings.
