I am helping host a Baby Shower in a few weeks and we are going to do vol au vents. Does anyone have any easy tried and true filling recipes? I am going to cheat and buy the pastry cases.

YEs I do but it is at work (it is the recipe the students are tested on, so it does work). Do you want me to email it fo you tomorrow??? PM your email and I will do it from work.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

i found this one... you could always not put the chicken in

750 grams of Chicken Thigh Fillets, chopped into little cubes
4 Rashers of Bacon, chopped into little bits
12 medium Volauvent shells
250 grams of Philadelphia Cream Cheese, sliced into pieces
50 grams of Butter
2 tablespoons of Plain Flour
3 cups of Full Cream Milk
100 grams of Pine Nuts
Salt & Pepper
Firstly a splash of olive oil in a fry pan and cook your bacon bits for 2-3Min's, then add your chicken and cook altogether until the chicken is cooked all the way through. Drain the chicken and bacon in a strainer, allow to cool.
Next comes the sauce. In a small saucepan, place your milk and bring to a nice warm temperature, keep on a low heat aside. In a second saucepan melt your butter until it starts to sizzle, then add your flour, whisk it in and cook the paste for a good couple of minutes, this will cook out the flour taste. This is imperative for a good bechamel sauce base. Then whisk in your warm milk on a medium heat, you will find it will thicken quite quickly. Once it is thick, add your slices of Cream Cheese, whisk till smooth and luscious. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Then all you have to do is assemble and bake. Mix your sauce through your cooled, cooked chicken and bacon. Taste again for seasoning as it might need some more salt and pepper at this stage. Fill your Volauvent cases and top with the Pine Nuts. Pop them into a preheated oven on 180 degrees for about 15-20 Min's.
