Ingredients

• 12 pieces Canned or pre-cooked escargot
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Shallots, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons Dry white wine
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 12 pieces Snail shells or escargot dish
• 1 loaf Baguette, sliced (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

If using canned escargot, rinse the snails under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, minced shallots, white wine, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the herb butter is well combined.

Step 4

If using snail shells, stuff each shell with a small amount of the prepared butter, then place one snail inside. Add more butter to fill the shell completely. If using an escargot dish, place one snail in each well and top generously with the herb butter.

Step 5

Arrange the stuffed shells or prepared escargot dish on a baking tray.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the butter is bubbling and the snails are heated through.

Step 7

Carefully remove the escargot from the oven and serve immediately with slices of baguette for dipping into the flavorful butter.
