Escargot Recipe

Escargot 🐌 💚 As a former restaurant chef, this is one of the most requested recipes and to this day my favorite thing to get at restaurants. Now I would like to share my home version with you ❤️. Obviously fresh escargot is better (tough to get though) but don’t be put off by the can! I use Roland Escargot. They are delicious and also easy to get.

Why You’ll Love Escargot Recipe

These are the most luxurious appetizer ever! Apart from being gorgeous, they are earthy, herby, garlicky and insanely delicious! They truly give that main character energy lol. You will be a fan! I love to add a lot of butter and they are wonderful to enjoy with lots of bread.

How To Prepare Escargot Recipe

🧄 Cut the top off the garlic, add some olive oil and salt. Then, cover in foil and bake at 400F for 60 minutes.

🌿 Secondly, add the butter, shallots, parsley, garlic, nutmeg, caper juice, vinegar into a food processor. Then, process until smooth. Wait to salt until the end because the butter is salted.

🧈 Add the butter onto the escargot dish, top with escargot and more butter.

🐌 Lastly, bake at 425F for 10-12 minutes. Then, broil for 1-2 minutes.

Substitutions and Variations

1. Herbs are very easy to swap for your favorite ones or whichever you have on hand.
2. You don’t have to roast the garlic but I highly recommend you do.
3. You can use any kind of vinegar you like instead of champagne vinegar.
