Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup plant-based crab substitute
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, plant-based crab substitute, chopped green onions, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to smooth them out slightly.
Cut each pastry sheet into 8 even squares, resulting in 16 squares total.
Place about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each square.
Brush the edges of the pastry square lightly with beaten egg using a pastry brush.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing two opposite corners together, then press the edges together to seal, ensuring no filling spills out.
Transfer the filled puffs to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Brush the tops lightly with the remaining beaten egg to create a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and puffed up.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or a delicious snack.
