i have made this many times and the recipe comes from a french/belgium restaurant i worked in once again no written recipe , but i will try and explain how i did it., we bought the escargots (ok, snails) in a a 1 or 2 lb. tub, they came frozen and cleaned, no shells. we had shells we could stuff them in, if needed., i took a small pyrex ramekin and filled it half full of a clarified unsalted-butter, parsley and a small bit of garlic mixture. i put in 6 snails and covered the top with a puff pastry sheet. i would cut the pastry to fit the ramekin with a little hanging over the sides of the ramekin and coat with a egg wash (egg white and water) and made sure it sealed, use egg wash to make sure, pastry could shrink if not sealed good ., i put in a 425 degree oven and browned the pastry. i would make some kind of design on the pastry from a small cutters, before i browned it. i served this on a small white plate with a small paper doily on it. this dish we sold for $9.95 and sold a bunch nightly., a few sliced button mushrooms would be an option

apple tartin, quick cooked tart it is called an apple tartin and is very simple and beautiful. my daughter has made this for school and she never brings any back, plus she always has a large number of requests for the recipe. this depends on the size of the saute pan you use. i start with about a 10 pan well coated with no stick pam and i use about 2 sliced apples, about a 1/2 to 1/4 thick (i like granny smith, but use what you like). i then melt unsalted butter and enough brown sugar to cover bottom of the pan and make a thick syrup after it cooks. i thin put the apples into the syrup and cook a few minutes so they get coated good with the syrup., i over lay the apples or shingle them is the tech term in a round circle like a huge sun flower design or something that works for you, be creative! i then use bought flake pastry dough and put on top of the apples enough to cover completely and make an edge on the outside of the tart. you can roll the dough at the edge make a little design in it to close the edge or just leave the edge open but in a round shape no rough edges.then i put in the oven and brown the pastry dough. when it is done (doesn tsp take long to cook) i have a large plate that i put over the saute pan and invert so the whole thing comes out with the, apples on top and the crust on bottom. i then coat with my simple water and sugar syrup ( recipe above) for a shiny coat and then i serve with cool whip or ice cream. 1 thing i forgot . you will have a center hole the apples you can cut a round shape ot of the apple or fill with cool whip, but if you can cut the top of the apple with the stem intact it looks nice in the hole. i have used cookie dough for this recipe and it works , but the pastry works best for me.
