Ingredients

Puff Pastry

  • 500 grams Puff Pastry

Mushroom Filling

  • 1 tbsp Oil
  • 200 grams Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp Flour
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into rounds. Using a smaller cutter, cut out the centers of half of the rounds to create a rim that will act as the vol au vent shells. Place the solid rounds on a baking sheet and top each with a rim piece. Press the edges gently to seal and brush with a little water for adhesion.
  2. Bake the Puff Pastry: Place the assembled pastry shells in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until puffed up and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  3. Sauté the Mushrooms: Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Make the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, and cook until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add Parsley and Adjust Seasoning: Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
  6. Assemble the Vol Au Vents: Spoon the mushroom filling generously into each baked puff pastry shell. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought puff pastry for convenience or homemade for a richer flavor.
  • For a richer filling, add a splash of cream instead of milk.
  • Ensure the puff pastry is well chilled before baking to help it puff properly.
  • Variations can include adding sautéed onions or cheese for extra flavor.
  • Serve as an appetizer or a light vegetarian main course.
