French Burgundy Snails Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Garlic Green Butter

   In a food processor, blend the unsalted butter, garlic cloves, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Hazelnut Crust

   Toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool, then chop finely or pulse in a food processor.

3. 3

   Prepare the Snails

   If using canned snails, rinse them under cold water. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

4. 4

   Assemble the Snails

   In a baking dish, place the snails in their shells or directly in the dish. Spoon the garlic green butter over each snail, and then sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts on top.

5. 5

   Bake the Snails

   Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the butter is bubbling and the top is golden.

6. 6

   Prepare the Grilled Bread

   While the snails are baking, grill the slices of French bread on a grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the baked snails hot with the grilled bread on the side for dipping.
