- 3 tbsp (45 mL) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (500 mL) milk, warm

Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190 °C). Butter a muffin pan (12).
- Flatten bread slices with a rolling pin. Fold bread slices in half lengthwise. Then flatten again with the rolling pin. If necessary, fold the slices of bread in half lengthwise again.
- Place the bread slices in the muffin pan so that they cover the outer surface. Brush bread slices with egg.
- Bake in the oven for at least 15 to 20 minutes or until the bread begins to dry.
- In the meantime, melt the butter for the béchamel sauce. Add the flour. Mix well. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the milk, whisking vigorously.
- Add the vegetables to the béchamel sauce and simmer over low heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until vegetables are al dente.
- At the end of cooking, add the eggs and fresh thyme. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Stir gently.
- Spoon vol-au-vent sauce on the bread cups. Serve with a garden salad.
