Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the cold butter and work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing just until the dough comes together. Form into a disc, wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Make the Filling
While the dough chills, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion, bell pepper, and garlic for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the plant-based meat, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for 7–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until nicely browned. Remove from the heat and mix in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 3: Prepare the Pie Shell
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll the chilled dough into a circle large enough to fit a standard pie plate. Transfer it to the dish, trim the edges, and lightly prick the bottom with a fork.
Step 4: Assemble the Pie
Spread the filling evenly inside the crust. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Pour the mixture over the filling so it distributes throughout the pie. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top if desired.
Step 5: Bake
Place the pie in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the crust is golden brown. The filling should be bubbly around the edges.
Step 6: Cool Before Serving
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Helpful Tip
Giving the pie time to rest is important. This brief cooling period allows the filling to firm up, making it easier to cut neat slices and serve without the filling falling apart.
Serve warm and enjoy!
