What does a Vol au Vont contain?

A Vol au Vont is a classic French dish characterized by a hollow puff pastry case that is typically filled with savory ingredients. The term "Vol au Vont" translates to "flight in the wind," which references the light and airy nature of the puff pastry.

This dish is often used as an appetizer or a main course and can include fillings such as cream sauces, meats, vegetables, or seafood. The puff pastry is leavened with steam, creating layers that puff up when baked, resulting in a delicate texture that is perfect for holding various savory fillings.

The other options do not accurately describe a Vol au Vont: a sweet dessert filling would be more fitting for a pastry or tart; a meat pie generally has a crust that is not the same as the airy pastry of a Vol au Vont; and a fruit tart is specifically a dessert that includes a pastry base filled with fruits and sweet components, which deviates from the savory theme of a Vol au Vont.
