Mussels au gratin is a simple yet delicious dish that you can serve as a side dish or after the main dish in your meal. Mussels are cooked in the oven and gratinated with parsley, breadcrumbs, salt, garlic, black pepper, and extra-virgin olive oil.
Preheat oven to 200°C. Follow the instructions about cleaning the mussels. If using frozen ones, follow instructions on how to thaw them.
Remove the top part (the one where the edible part is not attached to) of the shell. After removing the top part of the shell, place the bottom parts (with the edible part) onto a baking tray.
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.
