Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 125 grams Unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• 60 milliliters Cold water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 200 grams Spinach, roughly chopped
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 150 grams Broccoli florets, finely chopped
• 100 grams Frozen peas
• 100 grams Gruyere cheese, grated
• 3 large Eggs
• 120 milliliters Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt. Add the chilled, diced butter and rub it into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the spinach, zucchini, broccoli, and frozen peas. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt, pepper, and parsley. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and Gruyere cheese together until well combined.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the dish, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.

Step 8

Place the cooked vegetable mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Pour the egg, milk, and cheese mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it covers them evenly.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
