Wild Mushroom & Parmesan Vol-au-Vent Filling

Recipe Description

This Wild Mushroom & Parmesan Vol-au-Vent Filling is my numéro un filling for vol-au-vents. One of my favorite pastry dishes is vol-au-vents. Did you know that vol-au-vent is the French term for “windblown” (wind = vent) and it is used to describe the lightness of the pastry shell.

It is quite quick and easy to make this wild mushroom vol-au-vent filling. Start by sautéing onions and garlic in olive oil. Add mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in mascarpone and Parmesan cheese. Season and chill before filling 10 vol-au-vent cases with the creamy mixture. Top with a few shavings of Parmesan and some thyme leaves. Enjoy!

To make my Wild Mushroom & Parmesan Vol-au-Vent Filling, you will need the following ingredients:
