Using your favorite recipe, prepare pastry and roll out to fit a 9-inch pie pan; trim and flute edge.
Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Trim off stem ends, rinse thoroughly, then cut into quarters (you should have 2 cups). Cook in a large quantity of lightly salted boiling water until just tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, plunge into cold water to cool quickly, and drain on paper towels.
Spread almonds an a shallow baking pan and toast in a 350º oven for 8 minutes or until golden. Place drained brussels sprouts in the bottom of the pastry shell and sprinkle with toasted almonds.
In a blender container, combine the eggs, milk, mayonnaise, 1-1/4 cups of the cheese, pepper, and nutmeg; blend until smooth. Pour over Brussels Sprouts and nuts in the pie shell. Sprinkle top with remaining 3/4 cup cheese.
Bake on the bottom rack of a 350º oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until center appears firm when dish is gently shaken.
Allow to stand about 10 minutes before serving.
