Perfect for those who appreciate the finesse of French cooking, our Escargots offer a luxurious blend of textures and flavors, with the buttery richness of the filling beautifully complementing the tender snails.

The Ingredients: Simplicity Meets Elegance

• Escargots: Our escargots are tender, carefully selected snails that offer a delicate, earthy flavor. Prepared to perfection, they absorb the richness of the garlic and parsley butter, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience that showcases the finesse of traditional French cuisine.

• Garlic & Parsley Butter: The garlic and parsley butter is the soul of this dish. Fragrant, rich, and deeply flavorful, the butter is infused with fresh garlic and parsley, providing a savory, aromatic sauce that envelops the escargots in pure indulgence. The butter not only enhances the flavor of the snails but also elevates the overall richness of the dish.

• Pastry Shell: To add a unique twist, our escargots are served in a golden pastry shell, providing a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft, tender texture of the snails. The flaky, buttery pastry adds an extra layer of sophistication and texture to the dish, making each bite a perfect balance of flavors.

The Cooking Process: A Refined Approach to a Classic

Our Escargots are prepared with great care to ensure the perfect balance of flavors. The snails are gently cooked in the fragrant garlic and parsley butter, allowing them to soak up the richness of the sauce. The buttery pastry shell is baked to a golden crisp, serving as the perfect vessel for the snails and their luxurious sauce.

The result is a dish that is both refined and comforting, with the flavors of the snails and the garlic butter shining through in every bite, enhanced by the crisp, flaky pastry shell.
