Steps:
- Place escargots in a small bowl, and cover with cold water; set aside for 5 minutes. This will help to remove the canned flavor they may have.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Drain the water from the escargots and pat dry with a paper towel. Melt butter with the garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the escargots and mushroom caps; cook and stir until the mushroom caps begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk together wine, cream, flour, pepper, and tarragon in a small bowl until the flour is no longer lumpy. Pour this into the skillet, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, and use a spoon to place the mushrooms upside down into the prepared baking dish. Spoon an escargot into each mushroom cap. Pour the remaining sauce over the mushroom caps and into the baking dish. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese overtop.
- Bake in preheated oven until the Parmesan cheese has turned golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

ESCARGOT STUFFED MUSHROOM CAPS
The flavours here are complex. Very mild tasting. This is a wonderful addition to a wine & cheese party. But they are equally at home while tailgating!

Steps:
- Wash mushrooms and remove stems (I put the stems in salads or sauté them for steaks, etc).
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly oil the foil (I use an oil sprayer).
- Arrange the mushroom caps tightly together,hollow side up on the foil.
- Stuff each cap with the escargot. Some caps will be able to hold more than one.
- Cover everything with the shredded cheese.
- Bake at 325 for approx 20 minute or until the cheese has fully melted and the mushrooms and escargot are completely heated through. (The less time you cook these the juicier they are, so I tend to cook them a bit longer).
- Enjoy! Think about the subtleties in the taste when you try your first ones.

BAKED ESCARGOT IN MUSHROOM CAPS
I've loved escargot as long as I can remember. Even though it's quite difficult to get some to even try it, this recipe has changed more minds about snails than any other I've used. Beware, this is in no way a low fat recipe!
