How To Make stuffed mussels

Step 1

Place mussels in a pan of boiling salted water. Add the lemon slices, cover and cook for about 7 minutes, until the mussels have opened. Remove with a slotted spoon, discard any that have not opened.

Step 2

In case of whole shell mussels, remove the empty top shell from the mussel at this stage.
Step 3

Beat the remaining ingredients together and spread the mixture on top of the mussel meat.
Step 4

Place on a baking sheet and cook in a preheated oven (400 F) for 5 minutes until golden.
Step 5

Arrange on a warm serving dish, with parsley and lemon garnish. Serve with crusty French bread.
