Recipe: Caramelised Onion & Gruyere Vol Au Vents {A perfect cocktail party recipe for the time poor or lazy!}

Summary: Sometimes life is just crazy busy but you still want catch up with friends or maybe you have to bring a plate to something. Individual food always vanishes quickly but can be really time consuming to create. That’s where buying premade ingredients saves the day. Of course you can make your own pastries and onions from scratch if you have the time but these babies are delicious, quick and you can still claim you made them yourself! Mummy Ask was a little skeptical about these because they’re so simple but simplicity and classic combos are the key to time crunch cooking. Of course we had to taste our work and we found that they were rather moorish! Lucky we made two batches!!! You could make these ahead of time (including cooking) and warm gently before serving which is very useful when juggling your time. In fact these are almost as nice at room temp if you don’t have access to and oven at work. Just a word on buying vol au vent shells, check that they are in good condition when you buy them and be super gentle. I tend to buy an extra pack in case some are broken or break but Murphy’s law says if I have extra I won’t need them but if I don’t buy extra, I will!
