Steps:
- Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan, and add the diced carrot, onion, peas, and sweetcorn. Cook over a medium heat for around 10 minutes, until any excess water from the frozen veg has cooked off, and the carrot is beginning to soften. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and asparagus, and cook for a further 5 minutes. Then add the cannellini beans, and mix to combine.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan, over a fairly low heat. Add the flour, and mix to form a roux (a thick paste). Add the milk a little at a time, stirring until smooth each time before adding more. You can find more detailed instructions for how to make a white sauce here. When you've used all the milk, and the sauce is completely smooth, add the herbs, salt, pepper, and the grated cheese. Mix over a low heat until the cheese has melted.
- Combine the cheese sauce with the cooked vegetables, transfer to a suitable baking dish (mine measured 8 x 8 inches), and set aside to cool for 10 minutes or so. Turn the oven to 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F) to begin heating up.
- Cut a piece of ready-rolled puff pastry to fit the top of your baking dish (you can roll it out a little thinner if needed), with at least an inch excess all the way round. When the vegetable mixture has cooled a little, place the pastry on top, draping it over the edges of the baking dish. It's ideal if it's not sitting directly on top of the vegetables (but it doesn't matter too much). Cut a ventilation hole in the centre of the pastry, and crimp tightly around the edges of the baking dish with a fork. Pulling downwards, to ensure it's sealed thoroughly, tear away any excess pastry. You can use the scraps to create a design for the top of your pie, if you like (I made a few simple leaf shapes) - just place them on top. Lightly brush the top of the pie with milk, and sprinkle on a small amount of finely grated parmesan.
- Bake for around 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown, crispy, and puffed up. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a saucepan, then stir in the flour and mustard powder and cook for 1 min. Gradually stir in the milk until smooth with no lumps, then keep stirring until the mixture begins to bubble and thickens to a creamy sauce. Remove from the heat, then stir in all but a handful of the grated cheese.
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and bring a large pan of water to the boil. Cook the potato slices for 5 mins, tip in the broccoli and cauliflower for another 3 mins, then finally add the peas for 1 more min. Drain all the veg and pat dry. Reserve enough potato slices to cover the top of the finished dish, then gently stir the rest of the vegetables into the sauce with the chives.
- Tip into a deep ovenproof dish, arrange over the reserved potato slices, then sprinkle with remaining cheddar. Bake for 20-25 mins until the topping is golden and crisp, then serve straight from the dish.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, onions, and zucchini.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
- Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pie. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
- Don't overfill the pie crust. This will make it difficult to seal the pie and it may also make the crust soggy.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
Conclusion:
Cheese and garden vegetable pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. This pie can be served as a main course or as a side dish.
