• If you want to boost your vegetable intake, try incorporating root vegetables in your potato topping for added nutrients or swap normal potatoes for sweet potatoes.

Coming in at number one of the top 10 vegetarian pies is the humble cheese and onion pie. Commonly available in pasty form, it was traditionally a very popular food for the working classes of Northern England before making its way to Australian tables. This is because it’s very easy to make and the ingredients are reasonable compared to meat fillings.

The other top veggie-loaded Aussie pies include:

• Homity pie
• Vegetable pie
• Vegetarian shepherd's pie
• Vegetarian cottage pie
• Leek and potato pie
• Spinach and feta pie
• Mushroom pie
• Spinach and ricotta pie
• Winter vegetable pie

Far from its humble roots, it is now one of the most popular pies in Australia and New Zealand. Otherwise known as leek and potato, the homity pie has taken the second spot — and for good reason. Filling and delicious, it’s the perfect winter warmer on cold, gloomy days. Check out our cheesy potato & leek filo pie recipe for something similar you can make a home.
