Ingredients

  • 2 9-inch sheets refrigerated pie crust
  • 8 oz (½ block) extra firm tofu , drained and pressed, then cubed
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • ¾ cup non-dairy milk
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 10 ounces frozen mixed vegetables
  • Salt and cracked pepper , to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C). You will need 4 8-Ounce Ramekins or something similar
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and flour. Set aside.
  • To a large saucepan, add the vegetable broth and warm over medium heat. Now stir in the flour/milk mixture. Cook until sauce begins to thicken for about 4-6 minutes.
  • Add frozen vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes or until sauce is reduced and thick. Now add the tofu and gently combine. Add salt and pepper to taste (*see note). Remove from heat and set aside
  • Slightly roll 1 sheet of pie crust on a flat surface. Cut out two circles roughly 6" in diameter, and 2 circles that are slightly bigger than the width of the ramekin, about 4.5". (I used cereal bowls for the larger circles and a Pyrex to make the smaller circles). You may need to roll the dough a bit more to fit the 4 circles. Repeat with remaining pie crust.
  • Line a ramekin with a 6-inch dough circle and fill with veggie mixture about ¾ the way full. Now place the smaller circle on top and gently press around the sides to close. Pierce the center of each pie with a knife. Repeat with remaining ramekins.
  • Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until top is golden and the filling is slightly bubbling. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

* You can also make one large pot pie using the two sheets of pie crusts. You will need an 8-9" pie pan as well. Roll out the dough to fit pan if needed. Assemble the same way as instructed with the ramekins. The cook time may take 10-15 minutes longer. 
* I used a flavorful broth to keep the ingredient list short and simple. I didn't feel the recipe needed extra seasoning but feel free to add more to taste. You can add things like garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, cumin or rosemary. 
* PRESSING TOFU: wrap a block of tofu in a few paper towels and place it on a rimmed plate. Add a cast iron skillet on top (or something equally heavy) and let it drain for 20-30 minutes. I have a Tofu Press which makes it easier. With this recipe, you'll only need half the block of tofu, but I usually press the whole block and save the remaining for another recipe. To make things easier, you can buy Pre-Pressed Tofu.
