You'll be a hero with this half-shell recipe, packing with flavor from the garlicky, cheese filling baked with mussels. When purchasing mussels, look for unbroken, tightly closed shells or shells that close when lightly tapped.
Ingredients
Dried plain breadcrumbs
½ cup(s), plain
Shallot
2 small, minced
Olive oil
4 tsp, extra-virgin
Grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp
Fresh oregano
1 Tbsp, chopped
Garlic
1 clove(s), minced
Uncooked mussels in shells
24 medium, scrubbed and debearded
Instructions
1
In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, shallot, oil, cheese, oregano, and garlic.
2
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
3
In a large pot, place the mussels with a small amount of boiling water. Simmer, covered, until all the shells open, about 5 minutes; drain. When cool enough to handle, remove the upper shell and discard. Discard any mussels that do not open.
4
On a baking sheet, arrange the mussels. Spoon 1 tsp filling onto the mussels; spray lightly with nonstick spray. Bake until the top is golden and the filling is hot, about 10 minutes. Yields 3 mussels per serving.
