Brush some egg yolk on the bigger circle and carefully place the ring on top of the big circle.


Place these carefully on a baking tray and bake for 35 minutes at 170 degrees.
They will be crispy brown, flaky and glossy.

To top these mushroom vol-au-vents, you need an easy mushroom sauce. Simply chop 200 grams of mushrooms and cook them with a little bit of oil until they are light brown in colour.

Transfer them to a bowl to be used later. In the same pan, heat some butter and garlic and add 2 teaspoons of flour to prepare the roux mixture. Add 1/2 cup of milk and let the sauce cook and thicken.
Add the mushrooms.

Adjust the seasoning and add chopped parsley to it.

Place about 1 tablespoon of the creamy mushroom mixture on the puff pastry and your mushroom vol-au-vents are ready to serve.

Thank you so much!!! π
Do you cut two circles, in being one little and a ring?
I meant to say..one big one little and ring?
yes, two circles π
So, how many layers of puff pastry in all? A big circle on the bottom then what? Can you describe a wee bit more please?
Hey Bonnie, so you basically cut two circles - the bigger circle is the base, then you make rings out of the small circle and use only the outer ring which is placed on the bigger circle - so when they puff up, you can add the mushroom filling within. If you have more questions, do reach out to me π Hope you enjoy the recipe.
How many rings are needed to make 1 puffs?
Hello, 2 layers in total: 1 base and 1 ring.
Delicious. Especially the filling!
So glad you liked the recipe π
So pleased to see a reply from someone THAT has cooked these

Enjoy! π
Hello, these look amazing!! Can you tell me the exact type and thickness (even the brand) of puff pastry you are using please??
Hey Darryl, I use puff pastry from my local super market. Modern Bazar.
I made this today for a card party. I step 9 it says add garlic but that should read add flour. I used frozen puff pastry shells. I made one and a half times the filling to make sure I had enough to fill the store bought shells. For the milk amount I used half milk and half wine. The girls at the card group will love these!

Thank you so much Brenda for trying the recipe - happy to read that you enjoyed it.
This recipe looks really good. I love mushrooms! I think in step 9 you meant to stir in Flour instead of garlic again.
Oh yes! Thank you for pointing out - made the change to the recipe card. Hope you enjoy this recipe.
