    | 1. Use pastry to line the base and sides of a 2.5cm deep, 26cm (base) fluted, loose-based flan pan. | 2. Trim excess pastry. | 3. Place pan and pastry in the freezer for 15 minutes or until firm. | 4. In a small pan, shaking the pan frequently, toast the pine nuts until lightly browned; remove from the pan and set aside. | 5. Or you can use the same larger pan that you then use for steps 3-5. | 6. Place the bacon in a large non-stick pan over a medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, for 4 minutes or until light golden. | 7. Add the leek and garlic to the pan and cook for 2 minutes or until they have softened. | 8. Add the silverbeet - or spinach - and toss all the ingredients until they are well-combined; remove the pan from the heat and set aside for 3 minutes or until the silverbeet - or spinach - has wilted and completely cooled. | 9. Place a baking tray in the oven and preheat the oven and tray to 200°C. | 10. Place the flan pan on the hot tray and bake the pastry case for 10 to 12 minutes or until it is lightly golden. | 11. Remove the flan pan and pastry case from the oven and reduce the heat to 180°C. | 12. Spread the silverbeet mixture over the pastry base, top with cheese and pine nuts. | 13. With a fork, beat the eggs, cream, milk and salt and pepper to taste, in a jug; and pour over the egg mixture the cheese. | 14. Cook the quiche for 25 to 30 minutes or until it has set in the centre. | 15. Serve warm or at room temperature with a salad and crusty rolls. | 16. Notes: If using baby spinach leaves, you may want to leave them whole. Some people remove the stalks, but I always find baby spinach leaves, stalks and all, so tender that I leave the stalks on. IT's a bit of a timesaver too! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
