These Vegan Asparagus and Cheese Puff Pastry Bundles make a perfect quick and easy but delicious appetizer, side dish, or savory brunch recipe! They are also great for an elegant Mother’s Day snack along with a fresh salad or for any other spring day you need a simple lunch or dinner!

One of the reasons I love puff pastry is that it can be used in countless different ways to make simple but delicious treats in no time! You can use it for both sweet and savory dishes, from appetizers to main courses to desserts. Here on the blog, you’ll already find a summery Strawberry Cream Puff Pastry Tart and a hearty Mushroom Wellington recipe. Not forget to mention my favorite recipe for Apple Pie Pockets but that is only in my cookbook which can be ordered soon!
Anyway, the possibilities are endless! Since we‘re just in springtime and asparagus is in season, these vegan cheese puff pastry bundles are just perfect! They’re crispy, cheesy, flavorful, and ridiculously quick and easy to make!

What is puff pastry?
Puff pastry is a light and flaky pastry made with simple ingredients: flour, water, salt, and butter or oil. There’s no added yeast or baking powder included but the preparation requires a special technique, creating many layers of dough and butter. This process is also called lamination by the way. When the laminated dough goes into a hot oven, steam is released, causing all those layers to separate and the pastry to puff up into golden perfection!
Anyway, this process is very time consuming and since most puff pastry sold at the grocery store is naturally vegan, I usually prefer using the store-bought pastry to keep things easier. It is not only very easy to work with, but it also means you can serve up an elegant and delicious snack or appetizer without having any stress at all! However, if you’re still excited about a homemade puff pastry recipe, let me know in the comments below this post!
A little note on the puff pastry:
The most important thing to remember when using puff pastry is that you don’t want it to get too warm. If it is too warm, it will be difficult to work with, and it won’t puff up as much during baking. If using frozen puff pastry, be sure to thaw it to fridge temperature, but not to room temperature.

Asparagus and Vegan Cheese
These puff pastry bundles are stuffed with asparagus, vegan herb cream cheese, and dairy-free cheese slices. If you don’t want to use store-bought dairy-free cream cheese, you can make my cashew ricotta or almond tofu ricotta or hummus or a simple pesto. Instead of store-bought dairy-free cheese slices or shreds, my easy vegan sliceable cheese or melty vegan mozzarella would be great homemade options! Also, feel free to add some additional herbs, seasonings or chopped nuts to taste. And if you want more protein, simply add some tofu feta crumbles!

How to make Asparagus Puff Pastry Bundles
Start to preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, toss together the asparagus, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roll the pastry out on a floured surface or piece of parchment paper. Then cut it into 6 or 8 squares with a pizza cutter, depending on the size of your pastry sheet. Next, spread the dairy-free cream cheese on each square. Follow with a slice of dairy-free cheese and 3-4 stalks of asparagus.






Now take 2 corners of the pastry and wrap them up and over the asparagus, pressing to seal (see photo). Repeat with remaining squares, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. I had a small strip of puff pastry left that I simply wrapped around an asparagus spear, as shown in the photo below. Then brush each pastry with non-dairy cream and a drizzle of olive oil. Finally, transfer them to the oven and bake 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.


Sprinkle with more salt and pepper and fresh thyme if desired. Enjoy immediately with a drizzle of lemon juice as they’re best served fresh! However, if you have any leftovers, you can reheat them in a preheated oven to 356°F for about 10 minutes, or until warm.

Notes
- Puff Pastry: When using frozen puff pastry, it should be thawed from frozen, but not left out at room temperature for very long! If it is too warm, it will be difficult to work with, and it won’t puff up as much during baking.
- Cheese: If you don’t want to use store-bought dairy-free cream cheese, you can make my cashew ricotta, almond tofu ricotta, hummus, or a simple pesto. Instead of store-bought dairy-free cheese slices or shreds, my easy vegan sliceable cheese or melty vegan mozzarella would be great homemade options! Also, feel free to add some additional herbs, seasonings or chopped nuts to taste. And if you want more protein, simply add some tofu feta crumbles!

I found a non-vegan recipe similar to this that called for ham. I substitute a slice of plant-based deli meat where you put the cream cheese. Then I add the asparagus and sprinkle shredded vegan mozzarella on top. Comes out very similar but with the added texture and taste of the “meat.” I like your blend of cheeses though, so might try that too!
That version sounds great too! You can really get creative with this recipe. You can also add some green pesto or garlic herb butter! 🙂
Can these be prepared the night before and stored in the fridge until ready to bake?
I haven’t tried this yet… sorry.
I saved this recipe a while ago because it was so eye catching and I love asparagus! As soon as I saw some asparagus in the store I remembered I saved the post and while doing groceries I looked up the recipe, bought what I needed and made this delicious dish when I came home!
If you’re not sure if it’s worth it, let me tell you, it is definitely worth it!! Easy to make, and super tasty!
Thankyou Bianca!!

Can you make, freeze and heat?
They taste best when served immediately but you could reheat leftovers the next day, too!
I can’t belive how easy and tasty these were!!! I made them with red pepper hummus instead of cream cheese. I’ve got a list of people waiting for them after lockdown! Thanks Bianca, great blog 🙂
So glad you enjoyed this recipe! Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! ❤️
Maybe try a one without cheese. Add some spinach, paprika, onions. It was really delicious
Sounds delicious, too! 😊
