Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Frozen puff pastry shells
- 12 pieces Fresh oysters, shucked
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 small Shallot, finely chopped
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 piece Lemon wedge (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the frozen puff pastry shells according to the package instructions, typically 20–25 minutes, until golden and puffed. Set aside to cool slightly.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallot and sauté until soft and translucent, about 2–3 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour into the saucepan and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the dry white wine while whisking, ensuring no lumps form. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.
Gently add the shucked oysters to the sauce and cook for 2–3 minutes, just until the oysters are warmed through. Be careful not to overcook, as they can become rubbery.
Add the chopped parsley and gently stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Using a spoon, fill each prepared puff pastry shell with the oyster mixture.
Arrange the filled vol au vents on a serving platter. Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the luxurious flavors!
