Ideas for party pastry fillings?

11 replies

BlueCowWonders · 10/12/2015 20:00

I have a yen to make vol a vents or filo pastry tarts.
But can't think of any fillings! Nothing too intricate as it's just family - any ideas please?
No nuts or shellfish because of allergies, but open to any other suggestions.
Thank you Wine

Isn't the traditional vol au vent filling something akin to condensed mushroom soup?!

I used to make little tartlets with squares of puff pastry, spread with pesto or sun dried tomato paste andvtopped with halved cherry tomatoes and basil leaves plus mozzarella or crumbled feta or chorizo.

Smoked mackerel, creme fraiche and a tiny bit of horseradish.

Can't do pesto (more allergies...) but I have already got sundried tomatoes and feta. That's one sorted. Smile

Red onion and goats cheese

Fry the red onion with a little oil and once soft add a little sugar and balsamic vinegar. Put this on/in the pastry and then add a slice of goats cheese.

Apple and sausage

Pierce the skin of a sausage and roll into small meatballs. Fry this with onion and then either add slices of Apple/apple sauce and fry (the slices will require longer). Add either a little water or cider and reduce down until it becomes a very syrupy sauce.
