Reheating
If you want to reheat your Easy Loaded Vegetable Pot Pie and retain that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste, follow these steps:
- Oven: Preheat to 350°F. Place the slice or entire pie on a baking sheet and heat for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. This helps retain the crispy texture of the crust.
- Microwave: For a quicker method, microwave individual servings on a microwave-safe plate for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. The crust might be softer using this method.
Chef’s Tips
- Customizing Your Vegetables: This pot pie is highly adaptable to what you have in your fridge. Try adding mushrooms, spinach, or even some diced sweet potatoes for a twist.
- Make It Vegan: Use a vegan pie crust and ensure that your non-dairy milk is vegan as well (such as almond or soy milk).
- Herbs & Spices: Feel free to experiment with the herbs. Fresh rosemary or a pinch of sage can give a unique flavor profile.
- Gluten-Free Alternative: If you need a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour and a gluten-free pie crust. Ensure all other ingredients are free from gluten.
- Making In Advance: You can make the filling a day or two ahead and refrigerate it. Just heat it slightly before pouring into the pie crust and baking.
Pairing Suggestions
- Salad: Winter Citrus Salad with a tangy pomegranate vinaigrette pairs beautifully with this hearty dish.
- Wine: A crisp white wine like a Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc complements the creamy richness of the pie.
- Bread: Serve with a side of Crusty French Bread Rolls for a completely satisfying meal.
