Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Drain and rinse the 24 canned snails, then pat dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, mash the 4 tbsp butter with the 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp chopped parsley until well combined.

  3. Step 3

    Place each snail into a snail shell or small ovenproof dish. Top each with a dab of the garlic butter, then sprinkle with the 2 tbsp breadcrumbs.

  4. Step 4

    Bake for 10-12 minutes until the butter is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Serve hot with crusty bread.
