Festive Vegan Breakfast: Cheesy Puff Pastry Bundles with Asparagus & Sausage

If you want a delicious, simple AND impressive holiday breakfast or brunch idea...make these pastry bundles!!!! Melty cheese, roasted veg & sausage wrapped in buttery flaky pastry. Yes please!
I used 2 cheeses here by Fresh Start Fauxmage, the Creamy Pesto & Baked Feta. The Creamy Pesto gives it all the yummy herb flavour and the Feta adds a bit of welcomed brightness. I chose to stuff my pastry bundles with asparagus, Italian sausage and cherry tomatoes....but I will probably mix it up in the future. I'm totally dreaming of a cheesy mushroom & onion version right now.

These would make a lovely new years day breakfast or brunch feature...but I'd totally eat them up for dinner with a green salad any night of the week too. Yummy!

Yield: 8 Bundles

Ingredients:

• 1 x 397g package Tenderflake puff pastry, thawed in refrigerator
• AP flour for dusting
• 16 tsp Creamy Pesto Fauxmage (2 tsp per bundle.)
• 8 tsp Baked Feta Style Fauxmage (1 tsp per bundle.)
• 1 vegan sausage, cubed. eg. Tofurky or Yves Italian sausage
• 6-8 cherry tomatoes, sliced.
• 1 bunch of asparagus, ends trimmed (3-4 stalks per bundle)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2-3 tsp vegan butter, melted
• S & P

Method:

1. Cut the puff pastry in half, on a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a square approximately 9 x 9 inches.
2. Cut each square into 4 even squares. (8 total)
3. In the middle of each square crumble 2 tsp of Creamy Pesto Fauxmage & 1 tsp of Baked Feta Style Fauxmage.
4. Toss asparagus (3 - 4 stalks per square) in a dish with 2 tbsp of olive oil, and a sprinkle of        S & P. Place the asparagus sprigs onto each pastry square with tops and bottoms pointing towards 2 corners.
5. Add a few slices of cherry or grape tomatoes and cubed vegan sausage to each square, keeping ingredients towards the center.
6. Fold one corner over the filling, and then fold the adjacent corner in the opposite direction to enclose the filling. Press the dough together a bit to create a seal.
7. Brush each bundle with a bit of melted butter.
8. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate while you preheat the oven to 400°F.
9. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown. Check at 15 minutes, if bottoms are browning quickly, gently flip bundles over using a spatula to finish cooking for another 5 minutes. If any filling falls out just tuck it back in a bit afterwards.
