Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Vegan puff pastry
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 6 slices Dairy-free bacon strips
- 1 cup Vegan cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the dairy-free bacon strips and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In a small saucepan, combine the shredded vegan cheese, almond milk, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture thickens into a sauce, about 5-7 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, unfold the vegan puff pastry sheet and roll it out to smooth any creases. Cut the sheet into four equal squares.
Spoon an equal amount of the cheese sauce into the center of each pastry square, leaving a half-inch border from the edges. Sprinkle crumbled bacon and chopped scallions over the sauce.
Fold each square into a triangle, enclosing the filling. Use a fork to crimp the edges tightly to seal the turnovers.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with the remaining coconut oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and the pastry is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
