Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake pie crust for 7-10 minutes until bottom is slightly browned, then let cool. Steam broccoli until tender. In large mixing bowl, combine milk, eggs, butter, flour, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Whisk until well blended. Sprinkle remaining cheese over crust. Layer broccoli, mushrooms, herbs and green onion (if using) on cheese. Pour liquid mixture over all. Arrange sliced tomatoes on top. Bake 35-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
