  1. 01

    Heat the oven to 400°F. Melt butter in a deep skillet and cook mushrooms until browned, 6 minutes. Add peas, carrots, potato, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

  2. 02

    Stir in flour, then gradually add broth and milk. Simmer until the potato is tender and the sauce thickens, 10 to 12 minutes.

  3. 03

    Divide the filling among four 12-ounce oven-safe bowls. Cut puff pastry into four rounds slightly larger than the bowls and place one over each filling.

  4. 04

    Crimp the edges, cut a steam vent, and brush with egg. Bake on a sheet pan until deeply golden and bubbling, 18 to 22 minutes.

Useful swaps

  • Use refrigerated pie crust instead of puff pastry.
  • Unsweetened oat milk and dairy-free pastry make the filling dairy-free.

Why this is a good weeknight call
