2. Cut out circles in the same quantity, but slightly smaller in size. Now place the circles on a baking sheet, brush them with beaten egg white, and "cover" the top with the second set of circles.

5. Now comes the most important step – filling our vol-au-vents with the filling. If desired, you can add sour cream and garlic to the mushrooms to make them even more delicious. Once the vol-au-vents are filled, garnish them with fresh herbs and serve. They are equally tasty when served hot or cold.
