8 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
2 cups finely-chopped broccoli
2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
1 egg
2 tsp minced fresh chives
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp freshly-ground black pepper

Melt margarine in small saucepan. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute. Whisk in chicken broth, milk and mustard. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Pour sauce over filled rolls; sprinkle with tomato. Cover dish with foil. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until filling is set.

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
