Oh my goodness, ladies and gents, let me tell you about this absolutely divine Rustic Harvest Vegetable Pot Pie that has been making my family beg for seconds! As a busy mom who loves turning fresh farmers’ market finds into something spectacular, I stumbled upon this recipe that’s basically a warm hug in a dish.
Let’s get real – there’s nothing quite like the smell of buttery pastry and roasted vegetables filling your kitchen on a cozy afternoon. This recipe is what I like to call my “fancy-not-fussy” creation that’ll make everyone think you spent hours in the kitchen (when you totally didn’t 😉).
What You’ll Need:
– 2 cups of fresh butternut squash, cubed
– 1 cup of farm-fresh carrots, chopped
– 1 cup of garden peas
– 2 medium potatoes, diced
– 1 leek, sliced (trust me on this one!)
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– Fresh thyme and rosemary
– 2 sheets of puff pastry
– 1 cup of heavy cream
– 2 cups of vegetable broth
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 egg for egg wash

Now, let’s get cooking:
1. Preheat that oven to 375°F (I know, waiting is the worst part!)
1. In a large skillet (you know, that one you got from your grandmother), sauté those leeks and garlic until they’re fragrant and golden.
1. Add in your chunky vegetables and herbs, letting them dance around in the pan for about 5 minutes.
1. Pour in the broth and cream, letting everything simmer until the veggies are tender but still have some bite (about 15 minutes). Season with salt and pepper – don’t be shy!
1. Transfer everything to a deep pie dish or casserole.
1. Here’s where the magic happens – layer that puff pastry on top, brush with egg wash, and cut a few cute little vents (I like to make hearts because, why not?)
1. Bake for 35-40 minutes until that crust is golden brown and flaky.
Listen, honey, when this baby comes out of the oven, you’re gonna want to take a picture before serving – it’s that gorgeous! The crust will be perfectly crispy, and the filling will be creamy and packed with flavor.
Pro tip: Let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving, unless you want to burn your tongue (been there, done that, learned my lesson! 🤪)
