Ingredients
- 1 sheet of store-bought vegan puff pastry, thawed
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese (our vegan recipe or non-vegan)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Milk, for brushing (vegan or non-vegan)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- . In a small bowl, stir in chopped basil leaves with cream cheese of choice.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into individual square shapes, approximately 5x5 inches each.
- Place a dollop of the cashew cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square and spread it out, leaving a border around the edges.
- Arrange the cherry tomato halves on top of the cashew cream cheese mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Fold the edges of the pastry square inwards over most of the filling, where the very center is still popping out.. Brush the edges of the pastry with non-dairy milk for a golden finish.
- Transfer the galettes to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
- Remove the galettes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves, if desired.
