Escargot Maison Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Herb Butter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, finely chopped walnuts, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Escargot

    If using canned escargot, rinse them under cold water. If using fresh, ensure they are cleaned and prepared properly. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. 3

    Fill the Shells

    Place each escargot in its shell or in a small baking dish. Spoon the garlic-walnut herb butter generously over each escargot, ensuring they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Add Parmesan

    Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the herb butter on each escargot.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Place the filled escargot shells or baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the butter is bubbling and the top is golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with slices of French baguette for dipping into the delicious garlic-walnut herb butter.
