Vegan Wellington (Golden, Flaky & Packed With Flavor!)

Just pulled this beauty out of the oven and WOW — this Vegan Wellington is pure comfort wrapped in golden puff pastry. Crisp on the outside, hearty and savory on the inside, and absolutely holiday-worthy.

Whether you’re cooking for guests, meal-prepping something cozy, or just craving a gorgeous plant-based centerpiece, this Wellington delivers major flavor with minimal effort.

🥣 Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups plant-based ground “meat” (like Beyond/Impossible or lentil-walnut mix)
  • 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • ½ cup diced vegan cheddar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For the Pastry:

  • 1 sheet vegan puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 tbsp non-dairy milk (for brushing)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the savory filling

Sauté onions and garlic in olive oil until softened.
Add plant-based ground, mushrooms, soy sauce, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Cook until browned and fragrant.

Stir in spinach until wilted, then fold in vegan cheddar cubes.
Let the mixture cool completely (important for pastry crispiness!).

2. Wrap it up

Lay out the puff pastry on parchment.
Place the cooled filling in a log shape in the center.
Fold or lattice the pastry over the top (braids look extra impressive!).
Brush with non-dairy milk for a glossy golden finish.

3. Bake to perfection

Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until beautifully puffed and golden.
Let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing — this helps it stay together.
