Recipe

• 1 allow the puff pastry to thaw for at least 40 minutes at room temperature. i used sara lee puff pastry, its parve. :-).
• 2 preheat your oven to 400'f.
• 3 slice the mushrooms and quarter the artichoke hearts. saute gently in margarine until soft.

• 5 saute gently for a few minutes. add the flour, salt and pepper, stir to combine. add the soy sour cream and snipped chives.
• 6 cook until thickened. set aside to cool.
• 7 on a lightly floured surface roll out one sheet of puff pastry. the box should have two sheets in it.
• 8 make a rectangle about 13x16". trim the uneven edges. keep the trimmings for decoration.
• 9 i put parchment on the baking sheet so it wouldn't burn. lay the puff pastry on the baking sheet and prick it all over.
• 10 bake for about 15 minutes. keep an eye on it, it browns fast.
• 11 remove from the oven and set on a rack to cool.
• 12 prepare the second sheet of puff pastry. roll it out a bit bigger then the other one and brush the edges with the soy creamer.
• 13 dump the mushroom artichoke filling onto the already baked pastry.
• 14 at this point you can mound it to look like a loaf. place the second sheet of puff pastry over it and tuck in the edges.
• 15 roll out the left over pastry you saved for decoration and make long pieces. create a lattice pattern over the pastry and brush with the remaining soy creamer.
• 16 make two small holes in the pastry for a steam vent.
• 17 bake at 400'f for about 40 minutes. once again keep an eye on it. my oven cooks hot, so i took it out sooner.
• 18 bon appetit!
