Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound butter
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 shallots, finely chopped
1 teaspoon basil
6 tablespoons chopped parsley
Salt, pepper
48-60 mussels (according to size)
1 onion stuck with 2 cloves
White wine (about 1 cup)
Bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Blend the butter and the seasoning together and let stand 1 hour. Scrub and beard the mussels. Place them in a heavy skillet or pot with onion and enough white wine to cover the bottom of the pot well. Cover and steam over a medium flame until the mussels open. When cool enough to handle, remove one half shell from each mussel. Spoon butter mixture on mussels and sprinkle with crumbs. Bake at 425°F. just long enough to heat through. Serve on hot plates.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a hit. The mussels are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is delicious. I like to add a little bit of white wine to the sauce for extra flavor.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used a combination of white and black mussels, which gave the dish a nice visual appeal. The cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful. I served the mussels with garlic bread and a side salad.

The mussels were a bit overcooked. I think I would have preferred them to be cooked for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
