Escargot Buttered Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Herb Butter

   In a medium bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.

2. 2

   Prepare the Snails

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

3. 3

   Assemble the Dish

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the snails in their shells (or in a baking dish if they are shelled) and fill each snail shell with the herb butter mixture. If using a baking dish, make sure to coat the snails generously with the butter.

4. 4

   Bake

   Place the filled snails in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the butter is bubbling and the snails are heated through.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally with crusty bread for dipping.
