• whisk together , cream, flour, pepper, and tarragon in a small bowl until the flour is no longer lumpy. pour this into the skillet, and bring to a boil. cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
• remove the skillet from the heat, and use a spoon to place the mushrooms upside down into the prepared baking dish. spoon an escargot into each mushroom cap. pour the remaining sauce over the mushroom caps and into the baking dish. sprinkle grated parmesan cheese overtop.
