I worked many years ago at a country club and we had an escargots appetizer using boursin, janie. We heated a puff pastry vol-au-vent and when they were piping-hot we punched-out the center to make a "cup". Meanwhile we sauteed the escargots with garlic and shallots, then added cream and several ounces of crumbled boursin and melted/reduced into a velvety sauce. We then poured this into the warm pastry- it was yummy (as far as snails, go!) and very popular with this club's membership.
