Notes
Optional extra toppings:
You can also add toasted panko bread crumbs or Italian bread crumbs for extra crunch.
Feel free to add grated mozzarella cheese or quick melt cheese on top of each mussel before grilling or baking.
Make sure to set your timer. Overcooking will result in a rubbery texture and spoil the taste.
