Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- flour for rolling out the dough
- 4 ounces vegan cream cheese I used Kite Hill
- 3 ounces vegan feta I used Trader Joe's
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped, plus more for serving
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegan pesto homemade or store-bought
- 3-4 medium heirloom tomatoes sliced
- 1 tablespoon Just egg or sub aquafaba or vegan butter
- everything but the bagel seasoning
- olive oil for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the cream cheese, feta, garlic, basil, onion powder, salt & pepper in a bowl - being sure to break apart the feta. Set aside.
- Place the thawed puff pastry dough on a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out so that it is slightly larger than its original size. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Use a knife to create a 1-inch border around the dough - being sure not to cut all the way through. Use a fork to score the inside rectangle of the dough. Add the cheese mixture to the center portion of the dough and spread to the edges. Add dollops of the pesto.
- Place the tomato slices on top - letting them overlap if needed. Brush the border with the vegan egg and sprinkle with everything seasoning. Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the dough is browned and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Pour a little oil over the tomatoes and top with everything seasoning & fresh basil. Slice into squares and serve!

Notes
- If you can't find vegan feta or vegan cream cheese, you can sub my tofu ricotta.
- Puff pastry can be found in the frozen dessert section at the grocery store. Be sure to check the label before purchasing to ensure it is vegan-friendly.
- Check the puff pastry package for instructions on how to thaw, but I usually just let it sit out on the counter for 40-60 minutes before rolling it out.
