    “En croute” is a French phrase meaning “in crust.”  It is used to describe food (usually meat or seafood) that has been wrapped in dough or puff pastry prior to baking.  It’s a great way to enjoy roasted whole fish.

     

    Examples of classic en croute dishes include salmon en croute and Beef Wellington (usually beef tenderloin covered with duxelles and/or pate before being wrapped in puff pastry).  En croute pates & mousses are also available.
