Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 125 grams Unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 60 milliliters Cold water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 200 grams Spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 medium Zucchini, diced
- 150 grams Broccoli florets, finely chopped
- 100 grams Frozen peas
- 100 grams Gruyere cheese, grated
- 3 large Eggs
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt. Add the chilled, diced butter and rub it into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the spinach, zucchini, broccoli, and frozen peas. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt, pepper, and parsley. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and Gruyere cheese together until well combined.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the dish, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.
Place the cooked vegetable mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Pour the egg, milk, and cheese mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it covers them evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
