How to Prepare Cheese and Veggie Pie [Vegan]

Pre-heat your oven to 200C / 390F.
Mix all the ingredients for your pie crust or use your store bought pastry. Bake for 10-15 minutes.
Clean and peel your vegetables. Cut into desired shapes and just quickly satué in a frying pan with some oil. (this stage is just to get things going so the veggies will be cooked properly coming out of the oven. If using root vegetables, broccoli or cauliflower boiling/steaming them first is a good thing)
Now time to start with the cheese filling. Melt the margarine and add the flour while stirring continiously. Start adding your milk/cream some at a time. Add the vegatable cube and spices, remember to stirr and stirr so this cheese sauce won't stick and burn. Grate the cheese and ass to the sauce/ sprinkle in your parmasan powder. Taste!
Add all the vegetables into the pie crust and pour the cheese filling on top.
Cook in the oven for 20-30min until the cheese has set and is golden.
Eat with a nice side salad and enjoy.

Notes

Tip: If you wait and serve the pie once it has cooled down your pie slices will be perfect, eating it hot straight out of the oven the cheese is more of a sauce than set.
