This Vegan Mushroom Spinach Filled Puff Pastry has been our main course at Thanksgiving and Christmas for the past few years. It is a special treat and everyone loves it.
Start by chopping the onion and slicing the mushrooms. Wash and dry the spinach and gathering your other ingredients.
Next, heat the pan and add your olive oil. Sauté the onion and Herbs de Provence until beginning to brown.
Add the mushrooms and bit of salt to allow the mushrooms to release their juices and begin to brown. When the mushrooms are getting dry, deglaze the pan with dry white wine. Place in a bowl for use later.
For the spinach, heat a pan and add olive oil. Add spinach, salt, and black pepper. Allow the spinach to wilt down but not dry out.
To assemble the puff pastry, allow it to defrost for 30-40 minutes on the counter for Pepperidge Farm brand. Unfold it onto a silpat mat and flatten out slightly. Spread the mushroom mixture leaving about a 1″ edge to seal the pastry later. Then add the spinach.
Add cloves of roasted garlic over the spinach layer.
Next, place the second piece of puff pastry over the top and seal the edges by pinching it together and tucking the edges under. Score the top to allow steam to escape. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Happy Winter Solstice and Mele Kalikimaka from Maui!
Sounds wonderful! I’m going to serve this as our main course for Christmas dinner. We’ll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for posting!
Hi Mom,
This one’s for you! I bet you can make it even better.
It usually puffs up nicer than this photo shows. Maybe because I had 2 other dishes in the oven at the same time, it didn’t rise as well as it usually does.
Bob appetit!
This is a perfect centerpiece for any special occasion table!! Love that the parts can be made ahead and assembled the next day. It made a great holiday main dish and everyone loved it. Would be great for Thanksgiving or Christmas for those who are looking for something very special and vegan. Thank you, Ashley, for this wonderful idea!
Oh! I’m so glad you and your guests liked it! I have found the same thing. Maybe we should make it when you visit?! Thanks so much for the comment. 😘
