Mushroom Vol Au Vent

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 170 degree celsius.

Step 2

Thaw and roll out the puff pastry and cut circles as shown above in the blog post.

Step 3

Brush some egg yolk and transfer the puffs to the oven and bake for 35 minutes until they are nicely puffed up and golden brown.

Step 4

Once baked, transfer them to the kitchen counter and let cool for around 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the puffs are in the oven, prepare the mushroom sauce.

Step 6

Chop the mushrooms very finely.

Step 7

In a pan, heat some oil and add the finely chopped mushrooms and cook on medium low heat until the mushrooms turn light brown golden in colour.

Step 8

Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl. In the same pan, add butter and garlic and let the garlic cook for a few seconds.

Step 9

Add the flour and keep stirring - it is better to use a whisk. Let the mixture turn light brown in colour.

Step 10

Add milk and let the sauce thicken.

Step 11

Now add the mushrooms, salt, pepper and chopped parsley.

Step 12

When the puffs are cooled down, add about 1 tablespoon of the mushroom sauce mixture and serve hot.
