BAKED ESCARGOT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter over medium-low heat in a saucepan. Add snails, garlic, and parsley; cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Place 1 snail along with some sauce in each cup of an escargot pan. Sprinkle tops with Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

EASY GARLIC ESCARGOTS

Steps:

• Place escargots in a small bowl, and cover with cold water; set aside for 5 minutes. This will help to remove the canned flavor they may have.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
• Drain the water from the escargots and pat dry with a paper towel. Melt butter with the garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the escargots and mushroom caps; cook and stir until the mushroom caps begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk together wine, cream, flour, pepper, and tarragon in a small bowl until the flour is no longer lumpy. Pour this into the skillet, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the heat, and use a spoon to place the mushrooms upside down into the prepared baking dish. Spoon an escargot into each mushroom cap. Pour the remaining sauce over the mushroom caps and into the baking dish. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese overtop.
• Bake in preheated oven until the Parmesan cheese has turned golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

GRATIN D' ESCARGOTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 230C or 450°F.
• Finely mince the parsley, garlic and shallot.
• Mix the butter, parsley, garlic and shallot together with a spatula until well combined and smooth.
• Spread the butter compound evenly between individual ceramic or metal ramikins.
• Arrange the snails on top of the butter in a single layer. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Bake the snails until the butter is bubbling and the snails are heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Place the cheese over the top of the snails and continue baking until the cheese is melted.
• Serve immediately.

ESCARGOT, IN THE SHELL WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Rinse the escargot under warm water, pat shells dry with a paper towel, then set aside.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, shallots, garlic, parsley, and lemon juice. Mix all ingredients well with a small spoon. Lightly season butter with salt and pepper, until desired taste is achieved.
• When butter is at desired flavor, begin to scoop a small amount of herb butter in each shell of escargot. If there is extra butter left over after each shell has been filled, go back and continue the process, adding extra butter, until all the butter has been used.
• Put the stuffed shells into the fridge and allow to sit for about 20 minutes, giving the butter enough time to solidify in shells. While the shells are in the fridge, set the oven to 350 degrees F.
• When the butter is solid in the shells, remove from fridge and transfer shells into an oven-safe pan. If possible, avoid placing shells on a sheet tray, as we want the snails to cook in the butter as much as possible. Cook snails for 15 minutes, max.
• Serve snails, in shells, on top of toasted pieces of baguette, or in a fresh tomato-based sauce.

ESCARGOTS IN PARSLEY-GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons of butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Scrape the mixture into a food processor and add the remaining butter, parsley and cream. Process until smooth, scraping down the bowl's sides. Mix in the salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture in the saucepan over medium heat. Add the escargots and cook for about 5 minutes. Keep warm. Place the remaining butter mixture in a small saucepan over very low heat. Stir constantly until it liquefies but is thick and creamy. Divide the escargots among 4 small dishes and pour the sauce over them. Serve.
