Pogacsa, or mini savoury scones are by far the most popular snack in Hungary – probably in Eastern-Europe and the Balkan too, as far as I noticed when travelling around. There are lots of different version of them: some types of them resembles more like a bread, you can sprinkle them with seeds and nuts as well. One thing is for sure: they are every Hungarian family’s favourite snack bites without doubt. We too, love them. When in Hungary, we eat the cheesy ones and I also make this traditional cheesy pogacsa recipe for my daughter as she loves it.
But I really wanted to veganise this popular snack so vegans can enjoy it too. I must say, with the widely available vegan cheeses in the supermarkets – this is no fuss at all. Also, the eggs can be replaced with plant based milk – I use oat milk as it has the most neutral and earthy flavour – coconut milk is not the right choice here for sure.
Top tips
- You can add some nutritional yeast to the dough – this will boost the overall cheesy flavour!
- You can make great vegan dips for these to go with like, pesto, tomato salsa, ranch sauce etc.
- Place them in an airtight container and they will last a few days – they tend to go hard quickly, but don’t worry, they will be gone way before as they are so tasty!
- You can put the dough in the freezer – so double up the batch once you mastered it! On the other hand, the baked mini savoury scones don’t freeze well.
Enjoy!
