Creamy, Cheesy, Delish Mushroom PastriesIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tub vegan cream cheese (I use Tofutti)
juice of 1 lime or half a lemon
1/2 cup chopped spinach (optional)
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
grated nutmeg to taste
salt and pepper
4-5 puff pastry sheets, defrosted
Directions:Saute onions in a pan until just translucent, add mushrooms and allow to brown (3-5 min). Add margarine and garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl lightly whisk "cream cheese" and lemon juice. Add spinach and yeast is using and the seasonings. Mix in the mushroom mixture once it is completely cool.
Preheat oven to 400F.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into four squares if making regular size, or 8 if small. Place a large spoonful of mixture into the centre of each square. Fold into a triangle and seal the edges with a fork. Brush tops with a little soy milk or oil spray, and bake until golden, about 20 min.
