9 the shortcrust pastry must be well cooked during baking otherwise it will be very/too greasy...

10 let cool barely, unmold and serve very hot.
if you need to prepare more than your equipment allows, make them in advance to reheat all at the same time.
I made these snail delicacies because my wife loves casseroles, my daughter loves snails with butter. It's a good compromise. And it's actually much less greasy than classic snails.
Can also be served as an appetizer for special occasions. With a good white wine, champagne or other... enjoy...
