How to Make Gouda and Veggie Pot Pie

Step 1: Make the Pie Dough

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar. Add in 1 cup of Rumiano's Organic Sea Salted Butter, chopped into 1-inch pieces. Starting with 4 tablespoons of ice cold water, use clean hands to work the butter into the flour until a cohesive pie dough forms. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of water only if needed, depending on your dough's consistency. Divide the dough into two equal discs, wrap them, and place them in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Boil the Root Vegetables

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the golden potato, sweet potato, and carrots, all cut into 1/2-inch chunks, and boil for 8 to 10 minutes until just fork tender. You want them cooked through but still holding their shape. Drain, rinse under cool water, and set aside.

Step 3: Build the Base

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 5 tablespoons of Rumiano Organic Sea Salted Butter. Add the spring onions, leek, and celery, and sauté for 8 minutes until fragrant and slightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, and Herbs de Provence and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until everything is beautifully tender and aromatic.

Step 4: Make the Cream Sauce

Add 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour to the sautéed vegetables and stir to coat. Pour in 1 and 3/4 cups of broth and 2/3 cup of heavy cream. Whisk everything together well, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue whisking periodically for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the vegetables.

Step 5: Combine the Filling

Stir in the frozen peas and frozen corn, followed by the boiled potato and carrot chunks. Mix until everything is evenly distributed throughout the cream sauce. Shred in the full bar of Rumiano Organic Gouda Cheese and stir to combine until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated. The filling should be thick, creamy, and absolutely irresistible.

Step 6: Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator and allow it to rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes. On a clean, well-floured surface, roll out the first disc of dough to approximately 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 7: Assemble

Grease your pie dish or oven-safe skillet with oil. Lay the first sheet of rolled dough into the dish, pressing it firmly against the sides. Pile the filling on top, spreading it out evenly. Roll out the second disc of dough and drape it over the filling. Pinch the edges together firmly to seal the pie, then use a fork or your fingers to crimp for a decorative finish. Poke a few small holes in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 8: Bake

Brush the entire top crust generously with egg wash and bake for 45 minutes, until the crust is a rich golden brown and the filling is bubbling through the vent holes.

Step 9: Rest & Serve

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps the filling set slightly so you get perfect, beautiful slices. Then dig in and enjoy!

 

Tips for the Best Pot Pie

Want to nail this recipe every time? Keep these helpful tips in mind:

• Keep Your Butter Cold: The colder your butter, the flakier your crust. If your kitchen runs warm, pop the dough back into the freezer for 10 minutes before rolling if it feels too soft to work with
• Don't Skip Rinsing the Boiled Veggies: Rinsing the root vegetables in cool water stops the cooking process immediately, which helps them hold their shape in the filling rather than turning mushy
• Customize the Vegetables: This recipe is wonderfully flexible. Swap in parsnips for the golden potato, add butternut squash, or toss in some fresh spinach. The Gouda cream sauce pairs beautifully with just about any combo of vegetables
• Make It Ahead: The filling can be made a full day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Assemble and bake the pot pie just before serving for the freshest result

 

 

The Rumiano Difference: Cheese with Integrity

Great cooking starts with great ingredients, and this pot pie is a perfect example of why that matters.

Rumiano Organic Gouda Cheese is made with the same commitment to quality that has defined our creamery for generations. Our cows graze on open, lush pastures — a natural lifestyle that produces high-quality milk rich in beneficial nutrients, including Omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs). That commitment to organic, non-GMO dairy is something you can taste in every bite.

And our Organic Sea Salted Butter? It's crafted with that same care and simplicity. Rich, creamy, and subtly salty, it's the kind of butter that makes a homemade pie crust worth writing home about. When you cook with Rumiano, you're not just making dinner—you're putting food on the table that you can feel genuinely good about.
