Pie Crust

Method

Pie Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.5 tsp of salt. Add 1 cup of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Gradually add 6 tablespoons of cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

  3. 3

    Chill the Dough

    Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped medium onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for another minute.

  2. 5

    Add Remaining Vegetables

    Add 1 diced large carrot, 1 diced medium zucchini, and 1 diced medium bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 6

    Add Spinach

    Stir in 2 cups of chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  4. 7

    Combine Filling Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked vegetables with 2 beaten large eggs, 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese, 1 tsp of salt, 0.5 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tsp of dried thyme. Mix well.

Assemble and Bake

  1. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 9

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle large enough to fit your pie dish. Place the rolled dough into the pie dish, pressing it gently to fit.

  3. 10

    Add Filling

    Pour the vegetable filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

  4. 11

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.

  5. 12

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
