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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to smooth them out slightly.
Step 4
Cut each pastry sheet into 8 even squares, resulting in 16 squares total.
Step 5
Place about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each square.
Step 6
Brush the edges of the pastry square lightly with beaten egg using a pastry brush.
Step 7
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing two opposite corners together, then press the edges together to seal, ensuring no filling spills out.
Step 8
Transfer the filled puffs to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Step 9
Brush the tops lightly with the remaining beaten egg to create a golden crust.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and puffed up.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Step 12
Serve warm as an appetizer or a delicious snack.
