                         - unbaked
    1 1/2   c            Low-fat milk
    3                    Eggs (extra-large)
      1/3   c            Green onions -- chopped
    1       tb           Pimiento -- chopped & drained
    1       t            Dried basil -- crushed
      1/2   ts           Salt
    6 1/2   oz           Tuna -- drained & flaked
      1/2   c            Low-fat cheddar cheese
                         - shredded
    8                    Spears broccoli (4" each)
 
    Preheat oven to 450.  Bake pastry shell for 5
   minutes; remove to rack to cool.  Reduce oven
   temperature to 325.
    For filling, in a bowl whisk together milk and eggs.
   Stir in onions, pimiento, basil and salt.  Fold in
   tuna and cheese. Pour into prebaked pastry shell. Bake
   at 325 for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saucepan steam
   broccoli spears over simmering water for 5 minutes.
   Drain; set aside. After 30 minutes, arrange broccoli
   spears, spoke-fashion, over quiche. Bake for 25-35
   minutes, or until a knife inserted 2" from center
   comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes.  Cut into 8
   wedges, centering a broccoli spear in each wedge.
    Note:  If desired, 1 cup chopped broccoli may be
   added to the filling before baking.  226 calories per
   serving.
