Ingredients

For the base:

4 filo pastry sheets
Olive oil (for brushing)

For the filling:

100 g plain firm tofu
Juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp cashew butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 pinch of Herbes de Provence
Salt, pepper
A little unsweetened soy milk

Topping (optional):

Smoked vegan salmon or smoked salmon (depending on diet)

Recipe

Using a cookie cutter, cut small circles from the filo pastry sheets.
Brush olive oil on the bottom of a muffin tin and on each pastry circle. Stack them two by two for better hold, then place them into the molds.
Bake at 180°C for 5 to 8 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, blend the tofu, lime juice, cashew butter, olive oil, herbs, salt, and pepper. Add a little plant-based milk if the texture is too thick.
Fill the baked pastry cups with this cream.
Top with small slices of vegan “salmon” or smoked salmon, according to your preference.
