INSTRUCTIONS

1
First, preheat the oven to 190 °C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the dough into a sheet approximately (20 cm × 30 cm). If you have a pre-rolled sheet, you don't need to roll out the dough.
2
Peel the garlic and press it into a small bowl. Peel the onion, chop it finely, and add it to the bowl with the garlic, along with the Provence herbs, finely chopped basil, ketchup, and canned tomatoes. Mix well and spread the resulting mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough sheet using the back of a spoon.
3
Along the wider length of the dough, starting from the bottom, arrange in rows first 1 slice of Edam cheese and then 1 slice of ham. Continue in the same manner until all the cheese and ham are used. Roll up the prepared dough lengthwise and then cut it into 15 pieces using a serrated knife.
4
Place the individual snails cut-side down on the baking sheet and in a small bowl, whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of milk and 2 teaspoons of oregano. Brush the snails with the egg mixture using a pastry brush.
5
Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the snails for 30–35 minutes at 180–190 °C.
6
After baking, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the snails cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
