"They used fresh broad beans (shelled), I'm using soy beans, I think you could use a spoonful of sour cream or two to thicken up the cream, they used a tablespoon of fresh minced tarragon and I'm using a little dried tarragon."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Crust:

Step 2

Lightly flour the work surface and roll out the pastry to a circle a little larger than the top of the springform pan.

Step 3

Carefully lift the pastry into the tin and gently press into the corners, taking care not to have any holes or the mixture could leak.

Step 4

Cover and rest for a further 30 mins in the fridge.

Step 5

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 6

Line the pastry case with parchment paper; to do this cut a disc of paper larger than the tin, scrunch it into a ball (this makes it more pliable), then unwrap and place it in the pastry case.

Step 7

It should come above the sides.

Step 8

Fill with baking beans or uncooked rice and bake blind for 20 minutes until nicely golden and dry. Carefully remove the paper and baking beans, and return to the oven for 5 mins to dry the base.

Step 9

Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F

Step 10

Filling:

Step 11

Beat the milk, cream, eggs and herbs with seasoning to taste. (Some folks liked a dash of nutmeg)

Step 12

Scatter half of the grated cheese on the blind-baked base, top with the chopped squeezed out spinach and beans, then pour over the liquid mixture.

Step 13

If required, gently give the mixture a delicate stir to ensure the filling is evenly dispersed, but be careful not to damage the pastry case.

Step 14

Sprinkle over the remaining cheese.

Step 15

Place into the oven and bake for 35 minutes until set and very lightly golden.

Step 16

Some folks had to bake longer.
