In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add cold, diced butter and rub it into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the diced carrot, zucchini, and potato. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies begin to soften.
Stir in the frozen peas, black pepper, and dried oregano. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (400Β°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to approximately 3mm thickness. Cut out 6-inch circles using a pastry cutter or small plate as a guide.
Place a spoonful of the veggie mixture in the center of each dough circle. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on top of the filling.
Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal, then crimp with a fork for extra security.
Transfer the pasties onto the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pasties are golden brown and crispy.
Allow the pasties to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
