Veggie Pie with a Cheesy Crust
- 1 stick Unsalted Butter, Chilled And Cut Into 1" Pieces
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/4 cups Ice Water
- 1/4 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Divided
- 1 whole Onion, Peeled And Chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, Peeled And Minced
- 1 whole Carrot, Peeled And Diced
- 1 whole Red Potato, Peeled And Diced
- 1/2 cups Frozen Peas
- 2 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
- 1 cup Milk
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- To make the crust, combine the butter, flour, baking powder and salt in a food processor with a steel blade and pulse just until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly pour in the ice water and pulse almost until a dough ball forms.
- Add the cheese and continue pulsing until you have a dough ball.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- To make the filling, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large pan and add the onion, garlic, carrots and potatoes.
- Saute on low to medium heat until all the vegetables have softened.
- Stir in the peas and remove the vegetables into a dish.
- Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the pan and whisk in the flour.
- Slowly whisk in the milk and continue whisking until all the flour has dissolved and the mixture begins to thicken.
- Add the vegetables back into the pan and season to taste.
- Roll out the dough and use your baking dish or ramekin (mine are 2 1/2 high and 4 1/2 in diameter) as a guide to cut circles, one for each dish or ramekin.
- Place each circle in the bottom of each dish.
- Divide the vegetable mixture equally between the dishes.
- Cut more rounds out of your dough, each about 2 wider than the mouth of your dishes.
- Cover each dish with a dough circle and cut a few slits into the top.
- Bake for 4045 minutes or until your crust is a light golden brown.
