Mini Tuscan Veggie Pot Pies

These mini pot pies with a filling inspired by Tuscan chicken are a super delicious entree! You bake these cozy, savory pot pies in a muffin tin, and they are as tasty as they are adorable. (Options for gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free)

These Tuscan mini pot pies are a fantastic addition to your holiday spread! I make this amazingly delicious pot pie filling, which I have changed from the classic to use the flavors of Tuscan chicken like my Tuscan white beans. The filling has this creamy sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and lots of Italian herbs paired with vegetables, chickpeas, and mushrooms.

To make the individual pot pies even easier, we use puff pastry in a muffin tin for the crust, so no need to make a whole pie crust from scratch! Simply cut and shape the puff pastry to fill the muffin tin or small ramekins and to top the pies. If you don’t want to use a muffin tin, you can prepare these in oven-safe ramekins instead.

Each of the pot pies comes out crispy, golden, and flaky with this creamy, delicious, veggie-packed filling, and they’re just fantastic.

They’re a great way to serve a pot pie without making too much of a mess. They also take less time to make, if you make them in a muffin tin, because you just put that whole muffin pan to bake instead of dealing with individual ramekins. 

Mini pot pies are perfect for your holiday spread. You can easily judge how many you need to make, since a portion is just one or two of them, depending on the appetizers, sides, and desserts on the rest of your spread. If you want larger portions, you can also use a Texas muffin tin to make slightly larger mini pies, or just make one large pot pie!

These are super flexible, super versatile and are absolutely delicious. You can mix up the filling, using cannellini beans, tofu, seitan, soy curls, or vegan chicken as the filling instead of the chickpeas.

Indian-inspired Masala Vegetable Pot Pie

This deeply seasoned vegetable pot pie has this amazing creamy white masala sauce that is flavored with from garam masala and other Indian spices!

This veggie pot pie has all things I love: creamy, spiced sauce; loads of veggies and greens; and it’s topped with crisp, flaky biscuity puff pastry.

It is so easy to put together. The sauce comes together really quickly in a blender. Then, chop your veggies or use frozen vegetables for an even easier pot pie. Top with your favorite made-ahead biscuit dough or puff pastry sheets cut into rounds.

The hardest part about making this veggie pot pie is waiting to devour it as it bakes. It makes the house smell so amazing!

The masala cream is a simple blender sauce with cashews, non dairy milk, and spices, and it’s super versatile. You can use it to make a white sauce curry, bring to a boil to thicken, and add roasted veggies, baked tofu, baked veggie balls, chickpeas, cooked soy curls, etc.

You can also make this casserole into individual portions in small ramekins with a biscuit on each. Just bake for less time.

No matter how you make this, it’s an easy, crowd pleasing, fun pot pie casserole. 
Wishing you all an amazing holiday season! If you’re looking for gifts for family and friends, do consider getting one of cookbooks!(some deals right now on some retailers).
