Snails in a brioche

A flat brioche filled with snails, themselves filled with a knob of sophisticated beurre d'escargot. The flat round shape is reminiscent of the old-fashioned French snail dishes. Cut into bite-sized morsels, this makes a good aperitif snack.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1

3 min.

Roll out 200 g Brioche dough into a circle about 8 inches (18-20 cm) in diameter.

Lay the circle of dough in an 8 inch (20 cm) tin, preferably spring-form type, then glaze the top.

Leave in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.

Stage 3

3 min.

Drain 20 snails, then lay on a sheet of absorbant paper.

Set aside.

Stage 4

2 min.

Once the dough is well risen, glaze a second time.

Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Stage 5

5 min.

Press the snails into the top of the brioche.

Stage 6

If the 120 g Beurre d'escargot is frozen, slice off small chunks...
