Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your pie a more interesting flavor and texture. Some good choices include broccoli, carrots, celery, green beans, peas, and potatoes.
- Roast the vegetables before adding them to the pie. This will help to caramelize them and bring out their natural sweetness.
- Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pie. Some good choices include cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Don't overcook the pie. The vegetables should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.
