Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams mussels we used frozen ones

  • 1 garlic clove
  • 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200°C. Follow the instructions about cleaning the mussels. If using frozen ones, follow instructions on how to thaw them.

  • In a bowl, mix parsley, breadcrumbs, mashed garlic clove, oil, and pepper.
  • Use a spoon to spread the mix onto each mussel.
  • Drizzle some additional oil on them and cook for 15 minutes at 200°C. (You can switch to grill for the last 3-4 minutes.)
  • Serve. You can even wait to serve them at room temperature.
