Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340°F).
  2. Roll out your puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut out one large and one smaller circle for each vol-au-vent.
  3. Brush the larger pastry circle with egg yolk and place the smaller circle on top, gently pressing down.
  4. Bake the assembled pastries on a parchment-lined tray for about 35 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  5. Heat olive oil in a large pan and sauté chopped mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until light brown.
  6. In the same pan, melt butter, add minced garlic, and create a roux by whisking in flour.
  7. Gradually add milk to the roux, stirring until smooth and thickened; combine with sautéed mushrooms and season.
  8. Spoon the mushroom filling into the baked pastry shells and serve warm.
