What’s in a No Beef Wellington?

You only need a few basic ingredients to make this easy vegan wellington recipe. Don’t forget the full recipe with ingredient amounts can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of the page!

Mushroom Veggie Burgers: We used the Savory Mushroom Burgers from NoBull; they’re delicious and come fully cooked! Any fully cooked veggie burger should work, but if you’re using something like Beyond or Impossible, you’ll want to cook them first! Same if you’re using homemade veggie burgers.

Plant-Based Sliced Cheese: We used the vegan smoked gouda slices from Whole Foods. Highly recommend a smoked gouda style cheese because it adds a delightful smokiness to the whole experience!

Puff Pastry: Check the ingredients to make sure yours is vegan friendly, but a lot of popular brands don’t put dairy in their puff pastry. We almost always use Pepperidge Farm!

Onions and Mushrooms: We’re going to caramelize these to add to our vegan wellington. They really take the flavor component over the top!

Olive Oil: For caramelizing the onions and mushrooms. Feel free to use any oil you like – refined coconut oil, sunflower oil, vegetable oil, avocado oil, etc. If you’re oil-free, water could be used, but the effect will be a bit different.

How to Make Mushroom Burger Wellington

Before you begin, make sure you defrost your puff pastry and veggie burgers. You’ll also want to preheat your oven, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and slice the onions and mushrooms.

Step 1: Sautee the onions and mushrooms.

You’ll start by sauteing the onions and mushrooms until caramelized. This is going to really send the flavor factor over the top!

TIP: It’s important you don’t overcook the onions because you don’t want to dry them out. If the onions do seem a little dry, add a tablespoon or two of water before adding the mushrooms.

Step 2: Assemble the Vegan Wellington.

When the pastry is thawed, lightly flour your clean countertop and roll the pastry out into a big thin square. This is where you’ll build your wellington!

You’ll start by adding about 3 Tbsp of the caramelized veggies in the center of the pastry square and gently smooth it out to about the size of your burger patty.

Then, you’ll top the onions with burger patty number one. Next, add the slice of cheese, and finish with the second veggie burger.

Step 3: Wrap and bake your Vegetable Wellington

Cut the corners off your puff pastry to form a cross or “+” shape. (If you’d like, you can use the excess to create a fun little design for the top like we did in these photos!) 

Next, gently pull the corners of the puff pastry up around your burger, sealing each one by pinching the pastry together (or use a little water.) 

Use your hands to form the pastry to the burger and seal it completely. Then, flip this wrapped burger stack over and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet

Finish by baking this beauty until the pastry is lightly browned and crispy!

What to Serve with Vegan Wellington

Mushroom Wellington + Wine Pairing

Pinot Noir: A light and earthy red wine like a Pinot Noir will pair beautifully with the mushrooms in this dish! Vegan-friendly brands we recommend:

  • 1/2 large sheet puff pastry defrosted*
  • 2 mushroom veggie burgers**
  • 1 slice non-dairy cheese***

Instructions
 

  • PREP: If you haven’t already, remove your puff pastry and burgers from the freezer to defrost. Preheat your oven to 400F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and slice the onions and mushrooms.
  • SAUTE THE VEG: Heat the olive oil on medium high in a saute pan. When hot, add the sliced onions and saute for 7-8 minutes until caramelized but not dry. Then, add the mushrooms, turn the heat to medium low, cover, and cook for 3-5 more minutes. If the onions seem a little dry, add a tablespoon or two of water before adding the mushrooms.
  • ASSEMBLE: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a big square. Add a “patty-sized amount” of the caramelized veggies in the center of the square and gently smooth it out. Top that with a vegan burger patty, then the slice of cheese, followed by your other burger.
  • FINISHING TOUCHES: Cut the corners off your puff pastry to form a cross or “+” shape. If you’d like, you can use the excess to create a fun little design for the top like we did in the photos!

  1. What a cool idea! I like sharing a big old beefy-less one for several people. Would it be too saucy to add a healthy splash of wine to the mushroom/onion mix? Love your site.
    1. I don't think that would be too saucy at all, TofuAnnie! (and I'm a tad disappointed in myself for not thinking of it first, LOL!) I'd suggest adding it at the same time as the mushrooms. And thank you so much! I really appreciate that.
  2. I am thrilled about this vegan mushroom burger wellington recipe... I can't wait to make this. I can't wait to EAT this. No Bull!
