How to Make Mussels Gratin

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, scrub mussels thoroughly and discard any that are open and don't close when tapped.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 chopped shallot and 2 minced cloves of garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  5. Add 1 cup of dry white wine and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Add the mussels to the skillet and cover. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any that remain closed.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Pour the cream mixture over the mussels and stir gently to combine.
  9. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of bread crumbs over the top.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the gratin is golden brown and bubbly.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
