How To Make breakfast scramble vol-au-vent

  • 1
    Bake vol-au-vent shells according to package directions.
  • 2
    In the jar of a blender, add avocado, lemon juice and 2 tbsp. water. Process until smooth and thin (not too thin) by adding a little bit more water to it until desired consistency.
  • 3
    Add avocado to béchamel sauce and whisk until incorporated; taste and adjust if necessary.
  • 4
    Place a piece of wax paper on top making sure it covers the surface, move the sauce to the back burner and keep it warm until ready to serve.
  • 5
    In a medium bowl, add eggs and season with salt and pepper; beat well and set aside.
  • 6
    In a skillet over medium heat, add hot Italian sausage and break the meat into small pieces. Cook until no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • 7
    When it’s done, use a slotted spoon and transfer the meat to a bowl; set aside.
  • 8
    In the same skillet, add onions and sauté for 2 minutes. Add red, orange and poblano peppers; sauté for 3 minutes.
  • 9
    Return hot Italian sausage back to the skillet and mix everything together.
  • 10
    Add the beaten eggs and stir until they’re almost cooked. Add cheese and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the eggs are cooked and the cheese is melted.
  • 11
    To assemble… Generously and evenly fill up the cavities of 6 vol-au-vent pastry shells with the egg mixture. Spoon avocado sauce on top and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
