Instructions

Notes
For egg wash you never need a full egg. We used half for this and half for another pie we were making. You can mix and match any root vegetables that you have. Parsnips and turnips are other delicious options. Avoid watery vegetables like courgette and pumpkin as it will ruin the pie.
