Cook the snails for about 2-3 minutes to lock in flavor.

Remove the snails from the pan and set them aside in a bowl.

In the same pan, add 1/4 knob of butter and 4 tablespoons of cream.

Wait for the butter to melt and mix it with the cream to create a thick sauce.

Add the snails back into the bowl and pour the sauce over them.

Place the snails in a snail tray, adding 3-4 snails in each section.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of finely grated mozzarella cheese on top of the snails.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Bake the snails in the oven for about 3-5 minutes until the cheese is gooey.

Remove from the oven and serve with bread.
