Make individual salmon coulibiac-style pies for a gourmet dinner party.
- For crepes, whisk all ingredients and a pinch of salt to a smooth batter. Set aside for 15 minutes. Melt a little extra butter in a 17cm non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook 60ml (1/4 cup) batter for 30 seconds each side or until light brown. Repeat with remaining batter to make 6 crepes. Set aside.
- Heat butter in a small pan over medium heat and cook eschalots for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for a further 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Cook rice in boiling salted water until just tender; drain well, then return to pan and cool. Stir in chopped eggs and half each of creme fraiche, parsley, lemon zest and juice.
- Preheat oven to 180C. Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface to 3mm thick, then cut out rounds 2cm wider than tops of 6 x 250ml (1 cup) heatproof bowls. Line each bowl with a crepe, fill with rice mixture, then mushroom mixture and a piece of salmon. Brush pastry rounds with egg and place, egg-side down, over salmon, pressing edges onto bowls. Brush tops with egg and bake for 25 minutes or until puffed and golden.
