Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 carrots sliced
- 1 cup chopped potatoes
- 1 cup green beans
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup milk or cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 sheet puff pastry or pie crust
- 1 egg beaten (for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). This helps the crust bake evenly and become golden brown. Prepare your pie dish and set it aside for filling later.
Cook the Vegetables
- Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet. Add onion, carrots and potatoes. Cook for 5–7 minutes until slightly soft. Add garlic and cook one more minute.
Make the Creamy Sauce
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables. Stir well for one minute. Slowly pour in vegetable broth and milk. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.
Add Remaining Vegetables
- Add green beans, peas, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes. The filling should be thick and creamy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Assemble the Pie
- Pour the vegetable filling into the pie dish. Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the filling. Trim edges and press gently to seal.
Brush and Bake
- Brush the top with beaten egg. This gives a shiny golden crust. Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 30–35 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
Rest Before Serving
- Let the pot pie rest for 10 minutes. This helps the filling set properly. Slice carefully and serve warm for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh vegetables for better flavor.
- Do not skip resting time before slicing.
- Cook flour properly to avoid raw taste.
- Use cold puff pastry for flaky crust.
- Adjust seasoning before baking.
- Add fresh herbs for extra aroma.
