Steps

Prepare Herb Butter

In a medium bowl, combine the room temperature butter with the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and finely minced shallot. Add the white wine (or Pernod), lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined and homogeneous.

Prepare Escargots

Rinse the canned escargots thoroughly under cold water and drain them well. Place each escargot into a cavity of an escargot baking dish, or into small oven-safe ramekins.

Bake Escargots

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Top each escargot generously with the prepared herb butter, ensuring the snail is fully covered. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the butter is bubbling and slightly golden. Serve immediately.

Extra Tips

► For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality butter and herbs.

► If you don't have an escargot dish, you can use small oven-safe ramekins or even a muffin tin.

► Serve immediately with fresh baguette to soak up every drop of the delicious herb butter.
