You might think that the vol au vent is a 70s canapé classic, but we’ve vamped it up with a delicious cheesy sauce and cheddar crumb topping for a main meal that everyone will enjoy.



Ingredients
1 packet ready-rolled puff pastry
300g smoked haddock

- Bake the pasty for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and allow to cool
