6 servings
Ingredients:
(puff)
½ cup butter or margarine
1 cup boiling water
1 cup all purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
4 eggs
(filling)
8 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup milk or light cream
¼ teaspoon salt
dash pepper
5 ounces frozen cut broccoli, cooked and drained (1/2 of a 10 oz
pkg.)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese
Directions:
To make the puff; melt ½ cup butter or margarine in boiling
water, add flour and ¼ teaspoon salt all at once and stir
vigorously. Cook and stir until mixture forms a ball that doesn't
separate. Remove from heat, cool slightly (about 5 minutes). Add
the 4 eggs, one at a time, beating after each until smooth. Spread
batter over the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch glass
pie plate. Bake in 400°F oven about 25 minutes or until golden
brown and puffy.
Meanwhile, beat together the 8 eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Stir
in broccoli. Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine in a
skillet just until hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. Pour in
the egg-broccoli mixture. Reduce heat to low, move mixture around
to cook, add shredded cheese, and continue cooking until no runny
egg remains. Spoon egg mixture into baked puff.
