This escargot recipe is made with tender escargots in mushroom caps, smothered with wine sauce and cheese. Nothing big and fancy, but I liked how it turned out, so I thought I'd share. They're easy to make, too!

Ingredients

  • 1 (7 ounce) can escargots, drained

  • 6 tablespoons butter

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 20 mushrooms, stems removed

  • cup white wine

  • cup cream

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon dried tarragon

  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

  2. Place escargots in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes to remove any canned flavor they may have. Drain escargots and pat dry with a paper towel.

  3. Melt butter with garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add escargots and mushroom caps; cook and stir until mushroom caps begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
