Tips & Variations

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen? Yes! Just sauté them first to soften before adding to the filling.

How do I avoid a soggy crust? Preheat your oven fully and use a deep pie pan. Venting the top crust helps too.

Can I double or halve the recipe? Absolutely. Use two pie pans or a casserole dish for doubling.
