Simple Baked Escargot Recipe

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Peel and chop the shallots.

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet and sauté shallots until translucent and starting to caramelize, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently.

Add white wine and cook, stirring, until liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes.

Stir in 6 tablespoons of butter, chopped herbs, minced garlic, escargots, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, then pour into a broiler-safe baking dish.

Cut the baguette into 1/4-inch thick slices. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange baguette slices in one layer.

Stir together the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and garlic powder. Spread each piece of bread with garlic butter, then sprinkle 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese evenly over the toasts.

Place baking dish with escargots in the preheated oven and bake 5 minutes.

Remove the baking dish from the oven, and sprinkle the escargots with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Put the baking dish under the broiler and broil for 1-2 minutes, until butter is bubbling and cheese is golden brown.

Remove from the oven, and place on a trivet to cool slightly.

Put the baking sheet with garlic toasts under the broiler, and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, until cheese is melted and edges are golden brown.

Serve toasts with baked escargot.
