Ingredients
VOL AU VENT
- 1 puff pastry roll (thawed)
- 1 large egg (beaten)
SHRIMP FILLING
- ¾ cup small shrimp
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3-4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped celery
- 1-2 dashes salt and pepper or to taste
SMOKED SALMON FILLING
- ¼ cup smoked salmon (cut into strips)
- 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1-2 pinches salt or to taste
- ½ cup arugula chopped
- 2 tablespoons parmesan ribbons
Instructions
VOL AU VENT
- Pre heat oven to 375F (190C).
- Unroll the puff pastry dough, using a 2½ -3 inch (6 cm) diameter circle cookie cutter, cut out circles. Remove half the circles and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. The remaining disks, make a hole in the middle using a smaller cutter 1½ inches (3 cm in diameter).
- Prick the circles with the fork tines and brush them with the beaten egg. On each of the circles place 1-2 cut out rings, (make sure to brush the rings and edges with beaten egg. This will help keep the the vol au vent together and also gives them a golden colour).
- Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until they appear swollen and golden. Let cool completely before filling.
SHRIMP FILLING
- Cook shrimp in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes, drain well. Add to a medium bowl and toss with lemon juice, then add the mayonnaise, celery and salt and pepper to taste. Fill cooled vol au vent.
SMOKED SALMON FILLING
- In a small bowl add sliced salmon toss with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste and chopped arugula. Fill vol au vent and sprinkle with parmesan flakes.
Fill the vol au vent shells just before serving or they will become soggy.
Notes
- Filled vol au vents appetizers are best if they are eaten right away because the pastry can get soggy if left out for too long.
- Although you can store unfilled vol-au-vent shells and filling separately for up to three to four days.
