Sounds lovely. We often used to fill ours with M&S tinned chunky chicken but I’m sure a homemade version would be nicer and possibly cheaper. They’re like a mouthful of chicken pie. What’s not to like?
I buy the cases and make the filling. I get fabulous ham from my local Polish shop (it is cheaper than the rubbish in the supermarkets) and make the bechamel with an extra strong cheddar and a tiny bit of English mustard for tang. A good vol au vent is a marvellous thing.
We always buy a piece of gammon to have on Christmas Eve which lasts for days on end for sandwiches etc. Nothing ever gets wasted but I like the sound of using it in your vol au vent filling. Might try some as part of my New Year’s Eve bitty tea
