Escargots and Garlic Butter

Method

Preparation and Baking

  1. 1

    Preparing the Garlic Butter

    In a bowl, mix the unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Stuffing the Escargots

    Place a small amount of the garlic butter mixture into each escargot shell. Then, add one escargot to each shell and top it with more garlic butter.

  3. 3

    Topping with Breadcrumbs

    Sprinkle a mixture of bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese over each stuffed escargot.

  4. 4

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Arrange the escargots in a baking dish and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbling.

    Remove from the oven and serve immediately, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
