Hi Brian, Yes, you can fully assemble it with the pastry, but skip the melted butter. Then wrap it in foil and store it in the fridge or freezer. When you are ready to bake, loosen the foil but keep it covered so the top doesn't burn, and bake at 400°F for about 30-45 minutes (if it's not getting hot in the middle, loosen the foil more - but keep top covered). Then remove the foil and add the melted butter, then bake until heated through and golden (about 10-15 minutes). You can freeze it too, using the same method and no need to thaw. It'll just need to cook longer in the foil. I hope this helps. Please reach out with any other questions.

I'm so glad you loved it! Thank you for sharing wonderful feedback. 🙂

Hi Kelly, I'm so happy it's a hit with everyone! I haven't tried it in patty form, but I think it could work. You might need some tweaking. I do have this Mushroom Bean Burger that you might want to try as well. https://veganhuggs.com/bean-mushroom-burger/

I'm so happy it was a hit! Thank you for the wonderful compliment. 🙂

You can omit it or you can try steak sauce or hoisin sauce for a flavor boost. 🙂

You can omit the worcestershire or you can add a teaspoon of steak sauce or hoisin sauce for extra oomph.

Yes, blanched hazelnuts will work or macadamia nuts, too. 🙂
