  2. 2Divide the drained escargots evenly among the mushroom caps, placing 6 escargots in each cap.
  3. 3Spoon the garlic-herb butter mixture generously over the escargots in each mushroom cap, ensuring they are well covered.
  4. 4Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the butter is bubbling and slightly golden brown.

Tips

  • Ensure butter is properly softened for a smooth, even mixture with garlic and herbs.
  • Do not overcook the mushrooms; they should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Offer a side of crusty baguette to soak up the delicious garlic butter.
