How can I make this Mushroom and Walnut Wellington vegan?

To make this Recipe vegan, replace the egg wash with a non-dairy alternative such as almond milk or soy milk. Make sure to use a vegan puff pastry as well. The filling is already plant-based with mushrooms and walnuts.

Can I prepare the Mushroom and Walnut Wellington ahead of time?

Yes, you can absolutely prep the filling and store it in the refrigerator for a day or two. Just assemble your Wellington and bake it fresh when you're ready to serve. This helps maintain the flakiness of the pastry.

What other fillings can I use?

Feel free to experiment with different fillings! Add spinach, chickpeas, or even some vegan cheese to vary the flavor and texture. Just make sure the filling is not too watery to avoid soggy pastry.

Can I freeze the Mushroom and Walnut Wellington?

Yes, you can freeze it! Wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap before freezing. When you're ready to bake, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator before cooking to maintain texture.

What makes puff pastry a great choice for this dish?

Puff pastry creates a light, flaky crust that perfectly complements the hearty mushroom and walnut filling. The layers puff up during baking, creating a texture that is satisfying and festive.
