Savory Spinach and Mushroom Strudel
This savory strudel utilizes pre-packaged puff pastry to make your time spent in the kitchen so much easier. Many pre-packaged puff pastries--found in your grocer's freezer section--are actually vegan by default. Check the labels on brands such as Pepperidge Farms and similar names and then get cooking!
Party version! Cut the rolled out puff pastry into 3 x 3 inch squares. Press each square snugly into the bottoms of muffin tins and then fill the cups 1/2 with mushroom filling. Bake 30 minutes, or until puff pastry is fluffy and topping is golden. Serve warm.
