How to Make Vegetarian Pot Pie

Step 1 – Preheat: Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or small casserole dish.

Step 2 – Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil. Add onion, garlic, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms. Cook for 8–10 minutes until softened.

Step 3 – Make the Sauce: Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well. Slowly whisk in vegetable broth and milk until thick and creamy. Season with thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir in peas and remove from heat.

Step 4 – Assemble: Pour the filling into the prepared dish. Lay puff pastry over the top, trimming any excess. Crimp edges to seal and cut small slits for steam. Brush with egg wash if desired.

Step 5 – Bake: Place on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. Let cool slightly before serving.
