- 1 block vegan feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Sesame seeds
- Black cumin (nigella seeds)
For the fresh bowl:
- Handful of arugula
- A small handful of sprouts
- ½ avocado, diced
- 1 red pointed pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon mixed seeds
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
For the vegan yogurt dip:
- 200g coconut yogurt
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the puff pastry
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Place the vegan feta block in the center of the puff pastry and wrap it completely, sealing the edges well.
Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds and black cumin for extra flavor and crunch.
Step 2: Bake until golden
Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden, puffed, and crispy.
The feta inside should become soft and slightly melted—creating a creamy center.
Step 3: Prepare the yogurt dip
In a bowl, combine:
- Coconut yogurt
- Garlic
- Chives
- Lemon juice
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 4: Assemble the bowl
In a serving bowl, arrange:
- Arugula
- Sprouts
- Diced avocado
- Red pepper
- Mixed seeds
- Pomegranate seeds
This creates a colorful, nutrient-packed base.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy
Place the warm, crispy puff pastry feta on top or in the center of your bowl.
Drizzle with the creamy yogurt dip.
Cut into the pastry to reveal the soft, melty feta inside—and enjoy every bite!
