Vol-au-vent with smoked salmon and robiola

Ingredients:

• 1 package of Vol-au-vent, normally with 6 pieces (if you don’t have it you can use 2 sheets of frozen puff pastry)
• 100 gr of smoked salmon
• 150 gr of Robiola (you can also use cream cheese instead)
• Dill or thyme

Steps

Before start baking the vol-au-vent, remove the salmon and the robiola from the fridge to reach room temperature

1. Bake the vol-au-vent following what is written in the packaging (I baked them for 15 minutes at 165°)
2. Remove the inner circle (the hat)
3. Place a piece of smoked salmon at the bottom of each pastry
4. Stuff the remaining space with robiola
5. Garnish the pastry with a bit of dill or thyme
6. You can add the cap on top of the composition to make it look nicer

Make your own vol-au-vent

Ingredients

• 2 sheets of frozen puff pastry
• 1 beaten egg yolk
• Rounded cookie cutter 6 and 8 cm or 8 and 10 cm

Steps

1. Carefully unfold or unroll the puff on your counter
2. Cut out 12 pieces of the dough using the bigger rounded cookie cutters
3. Brushed one side of 6 circles lightly with egg wash 
4. Stacked the other 6 rounded circle high on top of the egg washed pieces
5. Make an inner circle on the rounded pieces using the small rounded cookie cutter
6. Bake for at least 15 mins or until  browning off at 180°
7. When ready use a small sharp knife to remove the inner circle and to make room for your filling

Enjoy!
