Ingredients:

Serving

1 medium leek
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
2 cups chicken (finely chopped )
0.5 (10 oz) package broccoli (cooked and drained
1 pie crust ( unbaked 10 inches in diameter)
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups half-and-half or 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk

4 eggs
2 tbsp brandy
1/2 tsp salt

Spoon chicken mixture into pie crust. Sprinkle flour and cheese over chicken mixture. Combine half and half, eggs, brandy (Frangelica can be used in place of brandy), salt, pepper and nutmeg in medium bowl. Pour egg mixture over cheese.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted into center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot or cold.
