Escargot Preparation

Crouton Topping

Method

Prepare the Garlic Butter

  1. 1

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Seasonings

    Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter along with salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Prepare the Snails

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 4

    Arrange the Escargots

    Place the escargots in their shells or in an escargot dish. Pour the garlic butter mixture generously over each escargot, ensuring they are well coated.

Prepare the Croutons

  1. 5

    Slice the Baguette

    Cut the French baguette into small slices, about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 6

    Toast the Croutons

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and toast the baguette slices on both sides until golden brown.

  3. 7

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the toasted croutons with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Broil the Dish

  1. 8

    Combine and Broil

    Place the escargot dish under the broiler for about 5-7 minutes or until the tops are bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and serve immediately with the toasted croutons on the side for dipping.
