If you’re looking for a really special holiday dish look no further than this Mushroom Leek Pie. It’s hearty and delicious and looks super fancy on your dinner table. Wow your family and friends with this plant-based dish fit for royalty!
This dish is exploding with healthy ingredients including a crazy amount of Vitamin D and Iron. If you wanted to make it slightly healthier you could try to swap out the plant-based margarine with aquafaba if you’ve got some handy - but given that its a holiday meal I allow myself the little additional indulgence that comes with this.
Make sure when you’re shopping for your puff pastry that you get one that’s vegan. Check out the ingredients for anything sneaky they might have included.
This Mushroom Leek Pie will be a welcome addition to your holiday table. It goes great with my other holiday dishes on here including our Roasted Winter Salad, Squash Galette, and you can wash that down with some Plant-Based Egg Nog and enjoy a Plant-Based Gingerbread for dessert. Celebrate the holidays and smash these delicious meals into your face!
This Mushroom Leek Pie will be loved by your family and friends when served this holiday season. But make it any time of year you want something delicious and a little fancy.
