Ingredients for Escargot En Croute

Method

Directions for Preparing Escargot En Croute

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the softened 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 Escargot

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

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dish

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface. Cut into squares large enough to wrap around the escargot. Place a tablespoon of the garlic herb butter mixture in the center of each square, add an escargot on top, and then fold the pastry over the filling, sealing the edges with a fork.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the wrapped escargot on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden color. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as an appetizer!
