Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 cup diced potatoes
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and heat for 1-2 minutes. Then add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in diced carrots, celery, peas, and potatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  6. Gradually add vegetable broth and milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  7. Add thyme, salt, and pepper, and continue to cook the mixture for another 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are tender.
  8. Transfer the mixture into a baking dish. Make sure to leave a little space at the top for the pastry.
  9. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit the top of the baking dish. Lay the puff pastry over the vegetable mixture.
  10. Trim any overhanging edges and press down the edges of the pastry onto the baking dish. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
  11. Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg to give it a nice golden color once baked.
  12. Cut a few small slits in the center of the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
  13. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any overflow, and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  14. Let the vegetable pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
