Ingredients

For the vegetable filling

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp vegan butter
  • 1 leek sliced into half moons
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 carrots diced
  • 0.5 cauliflower chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 250 grams chestnut mushrooms diced
  • 1 cup peas frozen

For the cheese sauce

  • 1 tbsp vegan butter
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 250 ml soy milk or another plant milk of your choosing
  • 150 grams vegan cheese grated
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 pinch black pepper ground
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

For the pastry lid

  • 300 grams puff pastry
  • 1 tbsp soy milk

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180C / 356F / gas mark 4.
  • In a sauce pan, melt the butter in the olive oil on a low heat before adding the sliced leek and the salt then cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the diced carrot and cauliflower then cook for another 5-8 minutes until the carrots, cauliflower and leeks have started to soften.
  • Add the mushrooms and crushed garlic to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • In a separate pan, melt another tbsp of butter and add the plain flour. Stir until the butter has created a paste with the flour.
  • Pour in the milk and mix well so that the flour dissolves in the milk creating a thick sauce.
  • Let the sauce simmer gently before adding the cheese, nutritional yeast, black pepper and mustard.
  • Once the cheese has melted add in the frozen peas and pour over the rest of the vegetables.
  • Cook until the peas have thawed and the cheese sauce has thickened.
  • While the vegetables are cooking in the sauce, roll out your pastry and cut out a lid, exactly the same size as the top of your oven dish.
  • (If you wish) Cut out "say cheese" and other shapes using alphabet cutters from the leftover puff pastry.
  • Spoon the cheesy vegetable mix into your pie dish.
  • Place the pastry lid on top of the vegetables and press the edges down using a fork.
  • Brush the pastry with the soy milk and stick the "say cheese" letters and other shapes on top.
  • Place into the centre of your oven and cook for 45 minutes or until the pastry is crisp and golden brown.
