Cook broccoli according to package directions. Drain very thoroughly (chop any large pieces). Add butter or margarine to broccoli; cook and stir over high heat until butter is melted and any excess moisture has evaporated. Blend in flour and salt. Add milk all at once. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat, stir in Parmesan cheese. Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon colored. Slowly add broccoli to egg yolks, stirring constantly. Gradually add stiffly beaten egg whites, folding together thoroughly. Pour into ungreased square pan. Bake in moderate oven (350ºF.) for 30 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean. Cut into squares. Serves 4-6.
