patty shell
Edible creamed-chicken holder
A patty shell is a small, cup-shaped pastry made from puff pastry, designed to hold creamed foods like chicken à la king or seafood.
The shells are baked empty and filled just before serving: She spooned the creamed mushrooms into patty shells.
They appear most often at catered events and old-fashioned luncheons.
