Ingredients

- 1 cup peas
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- 1 zucchini diced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 sheet puff pastry or pie crust
- 1 egg beaten for egg wash
Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease your pie dish lightly with butter or oil.
Cook Vegetables
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook until soft and fragrant.
Add Carrots and Potatoes
- Stir in carrots and potatoes. Cook 5–7 minutes until slightly tender.
Add Zucchini and Peas
- Mix in zucchini and peas. Cook 2–3 minutes, stirring gently to combine evenly.
Make Creamy Sauce
- Sprinkle flour over vegetables. Stir for 1–2 minutes, then slowly add vegetable broth and cream.
Season the Filling
- Add salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir and cook 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
Transfer to Pie Dish
- Pour the vegetable mixture into the prepared pie dish. Spread evenly to fill the dish.
Prepare Pie Crust
- Place puff pastry or pie crust over the filling. Trim edges and press to seal. Cut small slits for steam.
Add Egg Wash
- Brush the top of the crust with beaten egg. This will give a golden, shiny finish.
Bake the Pot Pie
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
Cool Slightly
- Remove from oven and let the pot pie cool 5 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
Notes
- Use fresh, seasonal vegetables for best flavor
- Stir filling frequently while cooking to avoid sticking
- Egg wash makes the crust golden and shiny
- Let pie cool slightly for better slices
- Puff pastry works best for a flaky top
