Do I need an oven for Mushroom Vol au Vents?

What do you serve with Mushroom Vol au Vents?
Parsley and serve hot — they go soft as they cool. Baking is chemistry, so scale it by weight rather than by eye: double every quantity, use a tin with roughly double the area, and expect to add ten minutes or so. Judge it by the skewer, not the clock.
