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:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Assemble the Pastries: Spoon a tablespoon of vegan cream cheese onto each pastry square. Top with a spoonful of the spinach mixture.
  6. 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.
  7. Bake: Place the stuffed pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the vegan egg wash for a golden finish.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
  9. Serve: Once baked, let the pastries cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
