Recipes

Salmon Mousse Volauvents

Beat an egg & add a tablespoon of milk & whisk together. Use a brush to coat the bottom, sides & top of the volauvents & put them aside to let them soak for a few minutes. Pre-heat the crisper for 3 minutes & then add 100 grams of the volauvent bases to the crisper in the microwave for 3 minutes on cook/grill setting under pies & pastries.

Add 100 grams of smoked salmon to 200 grams of ricotta spread & mix them together with a hand mixer until you have a paste that still has some chunks of salmon in it.

Add the mixture to the bases once heated & crisped. Then add them back to the crisper on grill caramel mode for 60 seconds to heat the paste up.
