Preheat oven to 375'. Saute vegetable (except tomato) in margarine(butter) just until soft. Add tomato and heat through. Beat eggs and add remaining ingredients, except Parmesan Cheese. Put vegetable in pie crust and cover with egg mixture. Bake until set and light brown at edges (about 25 to 35 minutes). Top with Parmesan cheese and let sit for a few minutes.
