Preheat the oven to 400°F (hot)
Arrange the vol-au-vents in a baking dish, leaving about 5 cm between them
Put it in the preheated oven until the pastry browns and becomes crispy (about 25 minutes)
Prepare the filling: In a medium pan, bring the wine, water, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, and salt to a boil
Add the scallops, stir, and cook for about 4 minutes
Remove with a slotted spoon, drain, and reserve in a bowl
Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve and return it to the pan
Let it simmer over medium heat until slightly reduced (about 2 minutes)
Remove from the heat and reserve
In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over high heat
Add the onion and mushroom and cook until they're soft
Remove from the heat
In a small pan, melt the remaining butter over medium heat and add the all-purpose flour
Stir with a wooden spoon, gradually adding the reserved broth, until the mixture thickens slightly (about 3 minutes)
In a bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream with a hand mixer (whisk)
Add to the flour mixture and cook, stirring constantly without letting it boil, until smooth
Add the mushroom and scallops reserved and lemon juice and mix
Season with salt if needed
Remove the vol-au-vents from the oven, fill them, dust with Parmesan cheese, and return to the oven to brown
Serve immediately.
