Equipment
- 1 Escargot Dish optional
Ingredients
- 24 Canned Escargots (large) drained and rinsed
- 24 Escargot shells optional
- 1 cup Salted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 head Garlic finely minced or grated, roughly 8-12 cloves
- 1 small-med Shallot finely diced
- ¼ cup Parsley finely chopped into dust-like texture (¼ cup or more)
- 1 tablespoon White wine
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Before cooking: Remove butter from the fridge and allow it to soften to room temperature.
- Pre-heat the oven to 400ºF.
- In a mixing bowl, add softened butter, garlic, shallot, parsley, white wine, salt, and pepper. Use a rubber spatula to thoroughly mix butter together.
- Use a small spoon or a teaspoon measure to add the garlic butter either into the empty shells or into the bottom of the baking dish. Top that pat of garlic butter with the drained escargot, then another teaspoon-sized scoop of garlic butter. If using shells, it should be 1 scoop of butter, 1 escargot, then 1 more scoop of butter. Ensure the escargot is fully covered in the butter.
- Bake in a pre-heated 400º F oven for 10-12 minutes or until the garlic is cooked and the butter is beginning to brown on the edges. Cool slightly, then serve.
Notes
- Use the best European salted butter you can find. This is a 5-ingredient recipe, so quality matters more than technique.
- Fresh garlic only, minced finer than you think necessary. Pre-minced or jarred garlic won't cook through properly in 10-12 minutes.
- No shells? A regular baking dish works perfectly. Use roughly 1 cup of garlic butter for 24 snails, about 2 teaspoons per snail.
- This escargot recipe relies on a handful of simple, high-quality ingredients. Swapping the butter for a lower-quality option or skipping the fresh garlic will noticeably affect the final dish. Make as written for best results.
