Ingredients

1 lb broccoli, cut into medium-size florets
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup water
4 slightly beaten eggs
3 -4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (optional)
1 1/4 cups whole milk or 1 1/4 cups half-and-half
4 -6 drops hot sauce

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon fresh minced parsley
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (optional)
1 1/2 cups shredded swiss cheese
grated parmesan cheese, for topping

Preparation

Set oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate.
Combine the broccoli, onion and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan; cover and cook over medium heat for 6 minutes, (don't overcook, cook only until just tender); drain thoroughly, dry VERY WELL with paper towels.
In a bowl, combine the next 9 ingredients (starting after the 1/4 cup water).
Mix in the broccoli/onion mixture; pour into a prepared 10-inch deep-dish pie plate.
Sprinkle with desired amount of Parmesan cheese.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until set.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving-- yummy!
Note: if desired, this may be baked in an 11' x 7\" baking pan, instead of a pie plate.
