  Blend the cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Add the Swiss cheese, eggs, cream, salt and cayenne; blend until smooth. Add the parsley and pulse just until incorporated. Pour half the egg mixture into the pie crust, top with the vegetables, then pour in remaining egg mixture. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until center is just set and a knife comes out clean when inserted in center. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing into wedges.
