Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw and unfold the gluten-free puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to smooth out any creases.
Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out circles from the sheet. For each vol-au-vent, you will need two circles.
From half of these circles, use a smaller cutter (about 1.5-inch) to cut out the center, creating rings.
Place whole circles on the prepared baking sheet and brush lightly with water.
Position a cut-out ring on top of each whole circle and gently press so they adhere.
Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash and brush over the tops of the vol-au-vent cases.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Remove and let cool slightly.
While the vol-au-vent cases are cooling, prepare the mushroom filling. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add chopped shallots and sauté until translucent.
Stir in sliced mushrooms and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of gluten-free flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat.
Pour in 0.5 cup of vegetable broth, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens.
Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste.
Fill the cooled vol-au-vent shells with the warm mushroom filling or any filling of choice.
Serve immediately or at room temperature. Enjoy your gluten-free classic vol-au-vent!
