Snails cooked in garlic herb butter.

30 minutes
Serves 4
Appetizer

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a medium bowl, cream the softened butter.

  2. 2

    Beat the minced garlic, shallot, fresh parsley, white wine, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper into the butter until completely incorporated and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Place a small dollop of the compound butter into each empty snail shell.

  4. 4

    Push one drained snail into each shell, pressing it firmly into the butter.

  5. 5

    Seal the opening of the shell completely with another generous portion of the garlic-herb butter, smoothing it over the opening.

  6. 6

    Place the filled shells facing upward in an escargot dish (or on a bed of rock salt on a baking sheet). Bake for 10-12 minutes until the butter is bubbling and intensely fragrant. Serve immediately with crusty baguette to sop up the butter.
