Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Vegan puff pastry sheets
- 6 slices Vegan cheese slices
- 6 slices Vegan ham slices
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the vegan puff pastry on a lightly floured surface, if not pre-rolled, ensuring it's flat and smooth.
Cut the puff pastry into 6 equal triangles.
Place one slice of vegan cheese and one slice of vegan ham on the wider end of each triangle. If using, add a fresh basil leaf on top.
Starting from the wider end, roll each triangle towards the tip, forming a crescent shape.
Place each rolled croissant on the prepared baking sheet, keeping space between them for expansion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk, nutritional yeast, and olive oil to create a 'vegan egg wash'.
Brush the tops of the croissants with the vegan egg wash to give them a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let the croissants cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your vegan cheese and ham croissants!
