Escargots Vol-au-Vent

12 helix snails, without shells

½ cup butter, softened

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 green onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon finely minced fresh parsley

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 tablespoons dry white wine

12 puff pastry shells

12 mushroom caps

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Drain escargots; rinse in cold water and drain again.

In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, garlic, green onion, parsley, pepper, nutmeg and wine. Mix thoroughly. Place 1 teaspoon of butter mixture into each pastry shell. Top each with 1 escargot, cover with another teaspoon of butter mixture and place mushroom cap on top.
