Steps:
- Place escargots in a small bowl, and cover with cold water; set aside for 5 minutes. This will help to remove the canned flavor they may have.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Drain the water from the escargots and pat dry with a paper towel. Melt butter with the garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the escargots and mushroom caps; cook and stir until the mushroom caps begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk together wine, cream, flour, pepper, and tarragon in a small bowl until the flour is no longer lumpy. Pour this into the skillet, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, and use a spoon to place the mushrooms upside down into the prepared baking dish. Spoon an escargot into each mushroom cap. Pour the remaining sauce over the mushroom caps and into the baking dish. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese overtop.
- Bake in preheated oven until the Parmesan cheese has turned golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

BAKED ESCARGOT IN MUSHROOM CAPS
I've loved escargot as long as I can remember. Even though it's quite difficult to get some to even try it, this recipe has changed more minds about snails than any other I've used. Beware, this is in no way a low fat recipe!

Steps:
- 1. In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients for the herb butter and set aside or make ahead and refrigerate a day ahead. Soften at room temperature before using.
- 2. Drain the escargots from the can and rinse well. Place the escargots and the remaining escargot ingredients in the top of a double boiler and simmer (very, very gently), covered, for 90 minutes. Cool. Drain. Discard the stock and other solids, saving only the escargots.
- 3. Clean the mushrooms and remove stems. Pat dry with a paper towel. Arrange in a shallow gratin dish which is well buttered.
- 4. Spoon a bit of the herb butter in the center of each mushroom. Place 1 escargot in each mushroom. Add more butter on top of the escargot. Sprig some cheese on top of each stuffed mushroom. Sprinkle some additional chopped parsley atop. Add some cranks of freshly ground pepper. Note: you will have some herb butter left over. Use it for some garlic toasts. Additional note: you may assemble this dish 4-6 hours ahead. Cover with wax paper and foil and keep refrigerated. Remove from fridge 1 hour before baking uncovered.
- 5. Bake the gratin in a 400 degree oven for 14-16 minutes. Serve hot with bread.

The flavours here are complex. Very mild tasting. This is a wonderful addition to a wine & cheese party. But they are equally at home while tailgating!

Steps:
- Wash mushrooms and remove stems (I put the stems in salads or sauté them for steaks, etc).
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly oil the foil (I use an oil sprayer).
- Arrange the mushroom caps tightly together,hollow side up on the foil.
- Stuff each cap with the escargot. Some caps will be able to hold more than one.
- Cover everything with the shredded cheese.
- Bake at 325 for approx 20 minute or until the cheese has fully melted and the mushrooms and escargot are completely heated through. (The less time you cook these the juicier they are, so I tend to cook them a bit longer).
- Enjoy! Think about the subtleties in the taste when you try your first ones.

Tips:
- To ensure that the escargot is cooked evenly, make sure that all of the escargot shells are the same size.
- If you are using frozen escargot, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before cooking.
- To make the escargot easier to remove from the shells, use a small fork or toothpick to loosen the meat before serving.
- Be careful not to overcook the escargot, as this will make it tough and chewy.
- Serve the escargot immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and bubbly.
