Escargot con Funghi in Vol-au-vent | Club Foody

As most of you know by now, I really enjoy entertaining at home. With a wide circle of friends, having them over for dinner is fun. Every time I have our guests over, I try my best to diversify the menu from one dinner to another.
 
Unless there’s a dish that has to be served by itself, I usually make an appetizer. I like to be formal with my dinner parties – an appetizer followed by the main course (depending on the course, I might also serve a sorbet to cleanse the palate after the appetizer) and then dessert with a plate of cheese if the meal wasn’t too heavy. I love doing that… it’s my thing!
 
Last year I showed you a quick and easy way to make Homemade Vol-au-vent. These French hollow pastry shells are great food vessels for so many recipes that have sauce in them. Having said that, here’s a great recipe of mine that I like to serve as an appetizer… my Escargot con Funghi in Vol-au-vent!
 
This Escargot con Funghi in Vol-au-vent is a dish that doesn’t require too much time and the results are so delicious! Escargots are incorporated in a savory mushroom sauce with fresh herbs and spices. Then the mixture is spooned into those flaky puff pastries… The combination is just fabulous!
 
Here’s a quick note on the making of the vol-au-vent. For video purposes, I made the size of my puff pastry larger than I usually do. As an appetizer, you can size them smaller to make it more appropriate for the course. That’s how I like to serve them as a first course to my guests…
 
This Escargot con Funghi in vol-au-vent recipe is relatively quick and easy to make. Including the preparation of the vol-au-vent, this appetizer can be ready in less than 30 minutes if you manage your time well.
 
Formal or not, this is a lovely recipe to make at your next dinner party for not only its simplicity but also for its incredible flavors. Your guests will be quite impressed when you serve them this Escargot con Funghi in vol-au-vent… trust me, they’ll love them.
Bon Appétit!
