Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 24 pieces of escargot
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Place the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 6 equal squares, for a total of 12 squares.
- Place an escargot in the center of each puff pastry square. Spoon a small amount of the garlic butter sauce over each escargot.
- Fold the corners of each puff pastry square over the escargot, pinching the edges to seal and form a little pouch.
- Place the wrapped escargot on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this delicious and elegant appetizer!
