Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2 minutes until they soften.
  2. Next, add the sliced button mushrooms, 1 teaspoon of dried mixed herbs, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Stir and cover the skillet, cooking for about 8 minutes.
  3. In a separate saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of dairy-free butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour for 1 minute to create a roux, then gradually pour in 350 ml of dairy-free milk.
  4. Pour the creamy sauce into the skillet with sautéed leeks and mushrooms. Gently fold together until well combined and let it cool completely.
  5. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Roll out the thawed vegan puff pastry if necessary, ensuring it covers the pie dish.
  6. Pour the cooled creamy filling into a pie dish, spreading it evenly. Place the puff pastry over the filling, trimming excess edges.
  7. Crimp the edges of the pastry with a fork and score the top to allow steam to escape. Brush the surface with 4 tablespoons of aquafaba.
  8. Bake the assembled vegan pie in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
