Vegan Spinach Stuffed Pastry
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet of vegan puff pastry, thawed
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup vegan cream cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Pinch of red pepper flakes for heat
- Vegan egg wash (1 tablespoon plant-based milk mixed with 1 teaspoon maple syrup)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference and the size of your pastry sheet.
- Assemble the Pastries: Spoon a tablespoon of vegan cream cheese onto each pastry square. Top with a spoonful of the spinach mixture.
- Fold and Seal: Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle shape, depending on how you cut your pastry. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal the pastry closed.
- Bake: Place the stuffed pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the vegan egg wash for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
- Serve: Once baked, let the pastries cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
