Best 4 Classic Escargots à La Bourguignonne Recipes

ESCARGOT A LA BOURGUIGNONNE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the butter, parsley, shallots, garlic, and brandy in a bowl and blend well.
• Place a snail in each shell and fill the cavity with the seasoned butter. (If you do not have shells, you can use escargot baking dishes - this is actually how I prefer to make them. Most of such dishes hold 6 escargot apiece.).
• Place on a baking pan and bake for twelve minutes.
• Serve hot, as an appetizer, on individual snail dishes - or on small folded napkins on plates, to keep the shells from sliding about. Also, small silver forks to easily eat them with are a good idea.
• Make sure to have plenty of good bread alongside, to mop up the delicious butter sauce! :).
• Also good with a bit of Parmesan sprinkled on top of each.

CLASSIC ESCARGOTS à LA BOURGUIGNONNE

• Bake 10 minutes.

EASY GARLIC ESCARGOTS

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.

• Place the shells in an oven-proof serving.
• pan and bake them at 450 degrees F. until the butter begins to sizzle.
• Just before serving, sprinkle each escargot with a little dry white wine.
