Ingredients

500 g	puff pastry
1	egg, beaten, for glazing
	For the Filling:
25 g	butter or margarine
750 g	mushrooms, mixed- such as field, button, shiitake; sliced
6 tbsp	dry white wine
4 tbsp	double cream
2 tbsp	fresh chervil, chopped
	salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 7/ 220°C/ 425°F.

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to form each to an approximately 8 cm square.

Then mark each with a smaller square, 2,5 cm from the pastry edge and cut the smaller square with a sharp knife halfway through the pastry. Transfer the pastry to a baking tray. Brush the tops with beaten egg, but not let the egg run into the cuts. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until risen and golden brown.

Now cut out the central squares and set them aside, but do not cut into the base! Scoop out any soft pastry inside, leaving the cases intact.

For the Filling:
Melt the butter in a frying pan and stir the sliced mixture of mushrooms for about five minutes over a high heat. Add the dry wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened. Add the double cream and chervil and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Scoop the mushroom mixture into the vol-au-vent cases, top with the pastry squares and reheat gently in the oven, if required.

You can serve it as a starter, but it goes also well as a main dish, accompanied by rice.
