Vol au Vents Stuffed with Mushrooms – Classic French Treat

Vol au Vents look cool, cute, and deliver spot-on flavor. Mushrooms stuffing blended with bechamel will give you a bang on flavor. I have just recreated that moment with this simple yet tantalizing entree. Vol au Vents taste crunchy, crispy, and absolutely fantastic, and a naughty snack.

This classic French treat Vol Au Vents With Mushrooms takes me back to our most romantic and wonderful days which we had spent in Zurich.

It was a lovely evening and the most amorous cruise where we first relished these Mushroom stuffed puffs. That was the moment when we first fell in love with that seductive fungus.
