Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Drain and rinse the 24 escargot pieces, then pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in the escargot and cook for 2 minutes, until they start to sizzle. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  4. Step 4

    In a small bowl, mix 0.5 cup breadcrumbs with 2 tbsp chopped parsley and 2 tbsp melted butter until crumbly.

  5. 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.
