Ingredients
- Escargots
- 24, cleaned and shelled
- Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup, softened
- Garlic
- 6 cloves, minced
- Shallots
- 2, minced
- Fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup, finely chopped
- White wine
- 1/4 cup
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Baguette
- 1, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the escargots under cold water and drain well. If using canned escargots, ensure they are adequately rinsed.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, minced shallots, white wine, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended to create a garlic herb butter.
- Place one escargot into each shell (or use a baking dish if shells are unavailable) and top with a dollop of the garlic herb butter mixture.
- Arrange the filled escargot shells in a baking dish or on a baking tray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the butter is melted and bubbling, and the aroma of garlic wafts through your kitchen.
- Serve the escargots hot with sliced baguette on the side, perfect for dipping into the flavorful garlic herb butter.
Tips
- For an added kick, consider mixing in some red pepper flakes into the garlic herb butter.
- Ensure your escargots are thoroughly cleaned; if you're using fresh snails, soak them in water and cornmeal for a day to purge any impurities.
- Feel free to substitute the parsley with fresh tarragon or chives for a different flavor twist.
