Of course, if youre a carnivore and arent loving the 100% vegetable route, throw in some cooked rotisserie chicken or saute a chicken breast before adding the other ingredients, and use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.

Since Chad and I are only 2 people, I halved the original recipe to make a 9x5 dish suitable for 2-3 people.
-
33
For a more substantial dish, double the filling, place into a deep dish pie plate, and use a full sheet of puff pastry and cut off the edges to create a circle.

You get puff pastry in the freezer section of your grocery store, near the desserts.

If you dont have a pastry brush to brush on the egg wash, you can omit the egg wash (it just wont be as golden brown) or dip a napkin in the egg wash instead and use it as your pastry brush.

I didnt have these on hand, and I didnt find that the dish lacked anything by not having them.

But if you have them on hand, do as you please!
