1. 1

   In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add green onions and red pepper. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender. Beat 6 eggs with milk, salt and basil. Stir in ham. Pour egg mixture over vegetables. Scramble until eggs are thickened but still moist. Remove from heat; set aside. In a medium bowl, toss together broccoli, Swiss cheese and lemon juice. Set aside. Unroll refrigerated pizza crust onto a greased baking sheet. Pat dough to form a 14 x 9-inch rectangle. Spread reserved egg mixture in a 3-inch wide strip lengthwise down center of dough. Top with reserved broccoli mixture. Make cuts in dough at 1-inch intervals on both sides of rectangle, just to edge of filling. Fold dough strips diagonally over filling, overlapping strips and alternating from side to side to give a braided appearance. In a small bowl, beat together remaining egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush top of dough with egg mixture. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake in preheated 375u00b0 oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Slice to serve. Yield: 6 servings.
