Note
For a vegetarian variation, omit the escargot and fill mushrooms with a mixture of sautéed spinach, ricotta, and herbs.
Choose firm, fresh button or cremini mushrooms for best texture and flavor absorption.
This dish pairs well with a crisp white wine such as Gavi Tenuta San Pietro.
Serve immediately after broiling to maintain the warmth and crispness of the butter topping.
