PHOTO: ANDREW BUI; FOOD STYLING: BARRETT WASHBURNEBaked brie fans, you’ve got to try our newest baked cheese recipe: crispy baked feta. Saltier and more tangy than brie, feta brings a new flavor profile to the baked cheese category, and it’s irresistible wrapped in a crunchy, Greek-inspired phyllo dough shell with a nice drizzle of honey for sweetness. Serve it with pita or crusty bread for an impressive appetizer, dessert, or anytime sweet and savory snack.

3Scrunch Bread
PHOTO: LUCY SCHAEFFER; FOOD STYLING: LENA ABRAHAMThis bread gets its name from scrunched-up layers of phyllo and a spanakopita inspired filling, resulting in a stunning, pleated spiral shape; fresh dill, feta, and spinach make it a grand slam. We recommend using the larger 13"x18" sheets of phyllo. But if you can only find smaller ones that’s totally fine, just repeat the steps to create the folds until you can fill your springform pan.

5Vegan Mushroom Pot Pie
Andrew buiWhen the temperatures drop and the days get shorter, we can't help but crave something that looks like it came straight out of a Charles Dickens short story. We're talkin' steaming hot pot pie filled with creamy, flavorful gravy, sweet and tender veggies, and topped with a shatteringly flaky crust. Sure, normally there's meat, a la chicken pot pie, but for an infrequent meat-eater, it's not a necessity.
