  • After all the vegetables cook for 10 minutes, strain.
  • If using frozen peas, you do not need to cook them, just let them defrost, or add the frozen peas to the simmering vegetables for 30 seconds before straining.

  • After making your crust place it in the fridge to chill.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Whisk your eggs in an electric mixer until frothy.
