Ingredients

• 12 pieces Canned escargots (snails)
• 100 grams Salted butter
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 pieces Shallots
• 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Dry white wine
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
• 12 pieces Escargot shells (or an escargot baking dish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Drain the canned escargots and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small pan, melt the butter over low heat without letting it brown.

Step 4

Finely mince the garlic cloves, shallots, and parsley, then stir them into the butter along with the thyme, white wine, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Remove the butter mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 6

Place one escargot into each shell (or each cavity if using an escargot dish).

Step 7

Using a spoon, generously fill each shell or cavity with the garlic herb butter, ensuring the escargot is completely covered with the mixture.

Step 8

Evenly sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top of each butter-filled escargot to add a crispy layer.

Step 9

Place the filled escargot shells or dish into a preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the butter is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Step 10

Carefully remove from the oven (the dish will be hot) and serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful butter.
