Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Canned escargots
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 15 grams Fresh parsley
- 2 pieces Shallots
- 2 tablespoons Dry white wine
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 loaf (optional, for serving) Baguette
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Drain and rinse the canned escargots under cold running water. Set them aside to dry on a clean kitchen towel.
Peel the garlic cloves and shallots, and finely mince both.
Chop the fresh parsley finely, setting aside a small portion for garnish if desired.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, minced shallots, chopped parsley, dry white wine, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until you have a well-integrated compound butter.
If using a snail plate or escargot shells, place one escargot into each well or shell. If neither is available, use a small oven-safe dish and arrange the escargots snugly.
Divide the compound butter evenly among the escargots, ensuring each one is generously covered.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the butter begins to bubble and turn golden.
Remove from the oven and let the escargots cool slightly before serving. Optionally, serve with slices of fresh baguette for dipping into the flavorful butter.
Garnish with extra chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Bon appétit!
