The Savory Pie
Ingredients:
– 1 cup of all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup of cold butter, cut into small cubes
– 2-3 tablespoons of cold water
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 1 garlic clove, minced
– 1 red pepper, roughly chopped
– 1 yellow pepper, roughly chopped
– 1 zucchini, roughly chopped
– 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
– 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese
– Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour and butter. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix together until the dough forms a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

5. Add the red and yellow peppers and zucchini to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are cooked through.
6. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit the pie dish. Place the dough in the dish, trim the edges, and prick the bottom with a fork.
7. Brush the beaten egg yolk over the bottom of the crust. Add the sautéed vegetables and spread evenly over the crust.
8. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
