Clean the Snails

Prepare the Garlic Butter
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter. Cook gently for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.

Fill the Snail Shells
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each snail shell with the garlic butter mixture. If using canned snails, place them directly in a baking dish and fill with the garlic butter.

Bake the Snails
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the filled snail shells on a baking tray or in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, until the butter is bubbling and the snails are heated through.
