Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pesto Sauce

    In a blender, combine the basil leaves, parmesan cheese, roasted red peppers, garlic, and olive oil. Blend until smooth. Add white wine and blend again until well mixed. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Cook the Escargot

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the escargot and 2 tablespoons of the pesto sauce. Sauté for about 5 minutes until heated through.

  3. 3

    Grill the Bread

    Meanwhile, grill the slices of Italian bread until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On each slice of grilled bread, spoon some of the pesto sauce, followed by the sautéed escargot. Drizzle more pesto on top if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm, garnished with additional basil leaves or parmesan cheese if desired.
