Easy Vegetable Pie for a Cozy Weekend Family Dinner
Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat Oven
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the crust is chilling.
Cook the Filling
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the mixed vegetables.
- Sauté until they are tender, about 7-10 minutes.
- Stir in the spinach and dried herbs, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Prepare the Custard
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. You can stir in cheese at this point if you’re using it.
Assemble the Pie
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your pie dish.
- Place the crust into the pie dish, trimming excess dough.
- Spread the vegetable mixture evenly in the crust. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
Bake the Pie
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Cool and Serve
- Allow the pie to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For a richer flavor, try incorporating herbs de Provence or fresh herbs if you have them on hand. Serve warm with a fresh green salad or roasted potatoes.
