Ingredients for Escargots en Casserole

Method

Directions for Preparing Escargots en Casserole

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic-Herb Butter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, Pernod, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Snails

    If using canned snails, rinse them under cold water and drain. If using fresh snails, ensure they are cleaned and cooked according to your preference.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Casseroles

    Place 1 snail in each individual ceramic pot. Spoon the garlic-herb butter generously over the snails, ensuring they are well-covered.

  4. 4

    Cover with Pastry

    Roll out the flaky pastry dough and cut it into circles that will fit over the tops of the pots. Place the pastry circles over the pots, sealing the edges to lock in the flavor.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the ceramic pots on a baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your Escargots en Casserole!
