Escargot Ingredients

Method

Escargot Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add Cream and Cheese

    Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Crumble in the blue cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Season with black pepper and mix well.

  3. 3

    Cook the Snails

    Add the Helix snails to the sauce and allow to heat through for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Prepare Toast Points

    While the snails are heating, toast the bread slices until golden brown. Cut each slice into quarters to form toast points.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the snails are warmed and the sauce is well combined, remove from heat. Serve the escargot in small dishes, garnished with chopped parsley, alongside the toast points for dipping.
