Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Peel and chop the shallots.

  4. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet and sauté shallots until translucent and starting to caramelize, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently.
  5. Add white wine and cook, stirring, until liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in 6 tablespoons of butter, chopped herbs, minced garlic, escargots, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, then pour into a broiler-safe baking dish.
  7. Cut the baguette into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  8. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange baguette slices in one layer.
  9. Stir together the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and garlic powder.
  10. Spread each piece of bread with garlic butter, then sprinkle 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese evenly over the toasts.
  11. Place baking dish with escargots in the preheated oven and bake 5 minutes.
  12. Remove the baking dish from the oven, and sprinkle the escargots with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  13. Put the baking dish under the broiler and broil for 1-2 minutes, until butter is bubbling and cheese is golden brown.
  14. Remove from the oven, and place on a trivet to cool slightly.
  15. Put the baking sheet with garlic toasts under the broiler, and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, until cheese is melted and edges are golden brown.
  16. Serve toasts with baked escargot.
