Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 cups Carrots
• 2 cups Cauliflower florets
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 piece Egg
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust and line it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and set aside.

Step 3

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the carrots and cauliflower florets. Cook for 5 minutes or until slightly tender. Drain the vegetables and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until combined and slightly golden.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the sauce. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked carrots, cauliflower, and cheese sauce. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 8

Beat the egg in a small bowl and pour it into the mixture. Add the chopped parsley and mix well.

Step 9

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 10

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.

Step 11

Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
