Ingredients

• 12 pieces Canned or jarred escargot (snails)
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 small Shallot
• 2 tablespoons Dry white wine
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups Sea salt (for baking dish base)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Drain and rinse the canned or jarred escargot under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

In a food processor or with a knife, finely chop the parsley, garlic cloves, and shallot.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped parsley, garlic, shallot, white wine, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the herb butter is homogeneously blended.

Step 5

Prepare a small, oven-safe baking dish or escargot tray. Spread the coarse sea salt evenly over the bottom of the dish to create a stable base for the escargot shells or wells in the dish.

Step 6

If using shells, stuff each escargot shell with a small amount of herb butter, insert one escargot, and seal the shell with more herb butter on top. If using an escargot tray, place one escargot into each well and top generously with herb butter.

Step 7

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the butter-topped escargots for an added crispy texture.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the butter is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the escargots immediately with crusty bread to enjoy the fragrant, buttery sauce.
