I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. This mussel gratin was just okay.

This recipe was a disaster. The mussels were tough and the gratin topping was burnt.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the gratin topping didn't brown. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The mussel gratin was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

I found that the mussels were a bit overcooked, but the gratin topping was perfect.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mussels. I had some leftover mussels from a seafood boil and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I've made this mussel gratin recipe several times and it's always a hit. The mussels are always tender and flavorful, and the gratin topping is the perfect finishing touch.

This mussel gratin recipe is amazing! The mussels were cooked perfectly and the gratin topping was cheesy and crispy. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect meal.
