Ingredients

• 24 pieces Escargots (cooked and shelled)
• 200 ml Dry Chablis wine
• 200 g Button mushrooms
• 50 g Butter
• 2 medium Shallots
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 100 ml Heavy cream
• 2 tbsp Parsley (fresh, chopped)
• 50 g Breadcrumbs
• 1 pinch Nutmeg (optional)
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Clean and slice the button mushrooms into thin slices. Finely chop the shallots and garlic.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt half of the butter (25g) over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are golden and any liquid has evaporated. Remove the mushrooms and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter (25g). Add the shallots and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant.

Step 4

Deglaze the skillet with the Chablis wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer for 5 minutes to reduce by half.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream and a pinch of nutmeg (if using). Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Return the cooked mushrooms to the skillet, followed by the escargots. Gently mix to coat everything in the sauce and heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 8

Divide the escargots and sauce evenly into four small ovenproof dishes or casseroles.

Step 9

Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top of each dish, then place them in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden and the sauce is bubbling.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy with crusty French bread or as an indulgent starter.
