Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 6 tablespoons Cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 medium Zucchini (diced)
- 1 medium Bell pepper (diced, any color)
- 1.5 cups Broccoli (chopped into small florets)
- 2 cups Spinach (fresh)
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
While the dough chills, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the zucchini, bell pepper, and broccoli to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly tender. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled feta cheese.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently press the dough into the dish, trimming off any excess around the edges.
Spread the cooked vegetable mixture evenly over the crust. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the vegetables, ensuring even coverage.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Allow the Veggie Cheese Pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
