Instructions

Prepare the Filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted.
Season and Combine: Add thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir in the breadcrumbs or almond flour to absorb excess moisture, then remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool completely to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
Assemble the Wellington: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Spread the cooled mushroom and spinach filling evenly over the center of the pastry, leaving edges clear for sealing. Fold the pastry over the filling, sealing the edges securely by pressing them together.
Prepare for Baking: Place the wrapped Wellington seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Beat the egg and brush it evenly over the pastry surface to achieve a beautiful golden color when baked.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the Wellington for 30–35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Serve: Allow to cool slightly, slice into portions, and serve warm for a hearty vegetarian main dish.

Notes

To make vegan, use vegan puff pastry and substitute the egg wash with a flax egg or plant-based milk.
This dish freezes well before baking; wrap tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Bake directly from frozen, adding 10–15 minutes to baking time.
Use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option.
