Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Vegan butter, cold and cubed
• 0.25 cup Cold water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Vegan cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Vegan mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Plant-based milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the cold and cubed vegan butter.

Step 2

Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the cold water while stirring with a fork, just until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

In another bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese, shredded vegan mozzarella, chives, parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry dough to about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 8

Cut the dough into 4-inch squares using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.

Step 9

Place a spoonful of the cheese and herb mixture in the center of each square.

Step 10

Fold each square over to form a triangle, sealing the edges by pressing with a fork.

Step 11

Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil and plant-based milk mixture for a golden brown finish.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and flaky.

Step 13

Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
