How to Make Rivka's Vol Au Vents

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes more.
  3. Stir in the dissolved mushroom bouillon cube and cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. If needed, whisk in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the mushroom mixture. Cook until slightly thickened, stirring constantly.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out twice the number of circles as vol-au-vents needed.
  7. Use a 1-inch cookie cutter to cut out the center of half the circles, creating rings.
  8. Brush the solid circles with beaten egg.
  9. Top each solid circle with a ring, pressing gently to seal the edges.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the vol-au-vents are golden brown and puffed up.
  11. Let cool completely on a wire rack before carefully filling with the warm mushroom filling.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
