For a dairy-free version of this recipe, the butter can be replaced with solid plant-based butter, which is available in most supermarkets in the refrigerator.
For a vegan version of the egg wash, the egg can be replaced with a mixture of 1 tsp (5 ml) water and 1 tsp (5 ml) maple syrup.
Once the Wellington has been assembled, it can be refrigerated and baked the following day. The sauce can also be prepared the day before serving. Once cooked, the Wellington can be frozen. Simply thaw for 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for 30 to 40 minutes or until warmed through.
