Vol-Au-Vent

How to make Vol-Au-Vent?

Image

Roll out the disc of puff pastry and cut out circles with a diameter of 5 cm (1).

Image

When you have used up all the surface, calculate 3 empty discs for each whole base and cut them inside with a smaller mold (2).

Image

Prick the whole bases with the tines of a fork (6 or 7 in this case) and remove the excess dough scraps (3).

Image

Brush the discs with beaten egg (4).

Image

Place an empty disc on each base (5), remembering to always brush with the egg before adding the next one.

Image

When you have overlapped them all, you will have to brush the entire surface with the egg (6).

Image

Bake the vol-au-vent at 200° C (392° F) for 10-15 minutes (7), until they are puffy and golden.

Image

Meanwhile, prepare the two mousses; collect the salmon and fresh cheese in a stand mixer (8).

Image

Blend until you get a firm and spreadable consistency (9). Put the mousse in a pastry bag with a star nozzle.

Image

Also blend the baked ham with the cheese (10).

Image

Fill another pastry bag (11) and set aside.

Image

Remove the vol-au-vent from the oven and let them cool completely, then fill them with the two prepared mousses (12).

Image

Form rich, tall tufts (13).

Image

Decorate the salmon vol-au-vent with chives and the baked ham vol-au-vent with chopped green olives and freshly ground pepper (14).

Image

Serve the vol-au-vent immediately (15).
