See all of our pie recipes for Pi Day!
Pi Day is here again, this time with a chile relleno pot pie! As a former accountant and math nerd, I have an irrational love of this day. Heh. Also, I apparently like to make shamelessly bad jokes.
Also, pie.
You all know, I celebrate Pi Day every year. This year I once again chose savory flavors. This is more a deconstructed chile relleno, but it does incorporate all components - poblano peppers, cheese, egg. I added jackfruit to make it a meal, and a spicier pepper for another layer of flavor.
I have already made this jackfruit chile relleno mixture twice - once as you see in pie form, and another time over quinoa (minus the VeganEgg). We love these flavors, so it's safe to say I'll be making this one regularly.

Vegan Chile Relleno Pot Pie

Vegan Chile Relleno Pot Pie - a mildly spicy comfort food entree with the flavors and components of chile relleno - a good recipe for Pi Day or a random Tuesday.
Ingredients
- 3 poblano chile peppers
- 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and diced
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 3 chipotle peppers in adobo, minced
- 1 (20 ounce) can jackfruit, shredded
- 4 ounces vegan jack cheese (grated) or Tangy Cheese Sauce
- 4 servings VeganEgg (8 tablespoons VE + 2 cups water)
- 1 Easy Gluten Free and Vegan Pie Crust recipe
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 °F.
- Place poblano pepper directly on gas burner over flame; using tongs, carefully turn after pepper is charred / blistered (3-4 minutes). Char all sides, remove from heat. Place in small bowl and cover with kitchen towel, allow to steam / cool for 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, sauté onion, garlic, and chipotle peppers in a bit of oil or water until softened and translucent. Add shredded jackfruit, continue to sauté another few minutes until warmed through and combined completely.
- Once cooled, peel charred skins from peppers. Slice lengthwise, removing seeds and stem. Chop into bite size pieces.
- Prepare VeganEgg and have all other ingredients ready for assembly.
- In greased individual ramekins, spread the jackfruit mixture evenly, dividing equally. Sprinkle grated cheese (or spoon cheese sauce) evenly over jackfruit, then add poblano peppers in an even layer. Pour / spoon VeganEgg over poblano, in an even layer. Top with pie crusts and cut vents.
- Bake at 425 °F for 35 minutes or until crust is golden brown. (Check after 25 minutes or so, covering crust with foil if it is getting dark.)

Jackfruit pie is brilliant. WHY do I always forget Pi Day until the actual day?!
