Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 (8-count) package of vegan crescent rolls
Filling
- 1 ½ cups mixed frozen or fresh vegetables
- 2 servings of Simple Gravy (vegan)
- ⅛ cup tiny cubed extra firm tofu (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a cupcake tin with the crescent roll dough triangles, pressing them gently to form individual cups as the base for the pot pies.
- Prepare Filling: In a saucepan, combine the mixed vegetables, tofu (if using), and two servings of Simple Gravy. Cook this mixture over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it is heated through and slightly thickened.
- Fill and Wrap: Spoon the hot vegetable and gravy mixture evenly into each dough-lined cupcake slot. Carefully fold and wrap the dough over the filling to enclose it, shaping individual mini pot pies as shown in the example.
- Bake: Place the cupcake tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescent roll crust turns beautifully golden brown and flaky.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the mini pot pies from the oven and let them cool in the tin for five minutes. This allows the filling to set slightly, making them easier to handle and enjoy.
Notes
- Using fresh or frozen mixed vegetables works equally well; adjust cooking time slightly if using larger vegetable pieces.
- The tofu is optional but adds protein and texture to the filling.
- For a spicier version, consider adding herbs or spices like thyme, sage, or black pepper to the gravy mixture.
- Ensure the crescent dough seams are sealed to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Letting the pies cool before serving helps avoid burns from hot filling.
