Vol-au-vent (Pastry Puffs)
A vol-au-vent is a puff pastry that has a small hollow case in it. This hollow case is where you could stuff your fillings in. Vol-au-vent is pronounced as Vo-lo-va and is a French word which means windblown, this is to describe how light and airy these pastry puffs are
They are typically stuffed with fish or meat fillings, but we’re keeping it vegetarian for now
As mentioned above, Jalaram Foods is where I got these little pastry puffs from and their absolutely light and crisp. You can make these at home, but buying them is always easier.
Ingredients for the Vol au vent filling recipe
Boiled Potatoes & Corn
Firstly, boiled potatoes are the most essential ingredient in this filling recipe. Boil the potatoes, remove the skin and grate it. Combine it with the other ingredients and you’re done. It’s that easy
You need to boil the corn as well in a similar manner. Just make sure you do not over boil the corn, we do not want to lose that bright yellow color or make the corn mushy
Basic seasoning
Salt, pepper, chili flakes, and oregano. That’s all we need when it comes to seasoning. As I said, we keep this recipe simple thus no much spices required. However, feel free to add some more variations in dried herbs if you’d like it.
Cheese
Cheese is another essential ingredient in here, that’s the reason we call it Cheesy Vol-au-vents. You can use grated cheese in this recipe however its best to use cheese spread of any brand. Moreover, you can even use flavored cheese spreads that are available in the market. The cheese spread adds a creamy texture and also acts as a binding agent. Thus, the cheesier, the better
