Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 2 stalks Celery, diced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 cup Frozen corn
- 1 medium Potato, diced
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 2 sheets Pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add the carrots, celery, and potato to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Simmer the mixture until it begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Season with salt, black pepper, thyme, and parsley. Let the filling simmer for another 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
Roll out the pie crusts and cut them into circles slightly larger than the size of your ramekins or individual baking dishes.
Divide the filling evenly among 4 ramekins. Place a pie crust circle over each ramekin, pressing the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for decoration if desired.
Cut a small slit or two in the center of each pie crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish, if desired.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any overflow. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the veggie pot pies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
