    Roll pastry out between two sheets of parchment paper. Ease into prepared pan and trim edges. Prick base lightly with a fork. Chill for 30 mins.
    Line dough with parchment paper and fill with baking beans. Blind bake for 10 mins. Remove paper and beans. Bake for a further 10 mins. Cool.
    To make filling: Sprinkle base evenly with artichokes, salami, olives, peppers, feta and basil. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, milk, garlic and seasoning to taste. Pour over filling in pastry shell.
    Bake for 35-40 mins, or until set. Serve warm or cold, topped with arugula leaves.
