Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Drain and rinse the 24 escargot pieces, then pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Melt 2 tbsp butter with 1 tbsp olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Stir in the escargot and cook for 2 minutes, until they start to sizzle. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix 0.5 cup breadcrumbs with 2 tbsp chopped parsley and 2 tbsp melted butter until crumbly.
Step 5
Arrange escargot in a baking dish, spoon the breadcrumb mixture over each, and bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp. Serve hot with any pan juices drizzled over.
