Ingredients
Scale
Vegetable Filling
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, green beans)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup milk or cream
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (or ½ teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Biscuit Topping
- 1 batch flaky biscuit dough (store-bought or homemade, approx. enough to cover 8x8 inch baking dish)
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetable filling: Sauté diced onions and minced garlic in butter over medium heat until fragrant and translucent. Add mixed vegetables and cook gently until they release their natural sweetness. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Slowly whisk in vegetable broth and milk, stirring continuously to create a creamy sauce that evenly coats the vegetables.
- Season and simmer: Add salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary to the filling. Let it simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Prepare the biscuit topping: While the filling simmers, prepare the biscuit dough according to package instructions or your homemade recipe. Aim for a tender dough that can be spooned or dolloped evenly over the filling.
- Assemble the pot pie: Transfer the creamy vegetable filling into an 8×8 inch baking dish. Evenly spoon or pat the biscuit dough over the top to completely cover the filling, ensuring every bite has biscuit topping.
- Bake until golden: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the assembled pot pie for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown, firm, and slightly crisp.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary for a brighter, more aromatic flavor.
- Mix biscuit dough just until combined to keep biscuits light and flaky.
- Ensure the sauce is creamy but firm to prevent a soggy base.
- Melt butter gently to avoid burning and maintain deep flavor.
- Watch baking time carefully to avoid drying out the biscuits.
