Veggie Pot Pie
Serves 6 people
Pie crust
Method:
Cut butter into flour and add water as needed until dough formed. Roll dough out to one sixteenth of an inch and cut into circles (approximately 5 inched across) enough to cover pie dish with 3/4 inch crust hanging over.
Sauce
Method:
Bring stock to a boil and add roux (equal parts chicken stock and cream). In a blender, add goat cheese, lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Blanched vegetables in salted water
Other vegetables
Assembly:
Fill pie dish with desired amount of vegetable mixture (approximately 3/4 of the way to the top of the pie dish). Place the pie dough cover on top of the pise dish and firmly press to the sides of the dish.
Wash the top and side of the pie dough with egg wash (this will help with the browning of the crust). Pre-heat oven at 375 degrees. Cooking time is between 12 to 14 minutes.
