Snails with Herb Butter

French Bistro · France · 37 min · Serves 6

The Story

The snails are only half the point. The butter is the reason people remember the dish, so season it assertively and serve it smoking hot.

1

Heat the oven to 450 F. Mix the butter with the garlic, salt, parsley, chives, shallot, pepper, lemon juice, and Pernod.

2

Place the snails in snail dishes, ramekins, or a small baking dish. Cover each one generously with the herb butter.

3

Bake until the butter is bubbling and the snails are hot, 8 to 10 minutes.

4

Serve with baked puff pastry twists or toasted bread to catch the butter.

Jason's Notes

Escargots only sound fancy until you make them once. After that, you realize the dish is really about absurdly good garlic herb butter and hot bread or pastry to catch it.
