Ingredients
for the crust...
for the filling...
Cooking Instructions
To make the crust, mix the flour and salt together in a food processor.
Add the butter and cheese and blend until moist clumps form.
Shape the dough into 6-inch long log.
Wrap in plastic and chill in the refrigerator while making the filling.
Steam the cubed potatoes over boiling water until just tender and then set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil or butter in large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion, carrots and garlic and cook until softened (about 5 minutes.)
Add the mixed vegetables and cook for another 3 minutes or so until softened slightly.
Add the herbs and cook for another minute.
Transfer the vegetables to a clean bowl.
In the same skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 1/4 cup oil or butter and sprinkle the flour over.
Whisk for a minute until the flour is fully incorporated and just starting to change color.
Gradually whisk in the stock and milk and bring to gentle simmer.
Simmer until thickened slightly.
Season with salt and pepper.
Add the potatoes and mixed vegetables and stir to coat the vegetables in the sauce.
Cut the chilled dough crosswise into 6 equal pieces.
Roll out the pieces to 7-inch rounds on a lightly floured surface.
Divide the filling among six 2-cup souffle dishes (leaving a bit of room unfilled at the top.)
Cover each dish with a round of dough.
Press the overhang to the side of the dish to adhere.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Brush the top of each dough round with some of the egg glaze.
Cut 3 slits in each pie for steam to escape.
Bake the pies until the crust is golden brown and filling is heated through (about 45 minutes.)
