Baked mussels with butter and cheese

The night I made the baked mussels with olive oil, garlic and cheese, my daughter Sam slept through dinner and missed the event. I did set aside some of the baked mussels for her but by the time she got up the following morning, the mussels had spoiled. In the summer heat, that wasn’t surprising. So I promised her I’d make another batch but she should make sure to stay awake for dinner.
Instead of olive oil, I used butter this time. Sam is not a big fan of olive oil and I thought that having missed the previous batch of baked mussels, I’d go all the way and please her so she’d stop feeling bad about what she missed.
Serves 4 to 5.
Ingredients for baked mussels
500 g. of fresh mussels
2 tbsps. of butter
1/2 tsp. of grated garlic
thin slices of your favorite cheese
Follow the instructions on cleaning and preparing the mussels in the previous baked mussels recipe.
Heat the butter gently in a small saucepan just until it melts. Do NOT allow the cream to separate from the oil. Stir in the garlic.
Using a pastry brush, spread a little butter-garlic mixture on each mussel. Top with a slice of cheese. Bake in a preheated 180oC oven for about a minute or just until the cheese melts.
Serve at once.

Sana Ma’m Connie inilagay muna ang baked mussels sa ref para di na spoil? Tapos put na lang sa microwave pag kakainin na? Okey po ba ang suggestion ko? Thanks.
I always read your blog simply because it’s very interesting and i always picked up a lot of ideas from you.
I would have done that, Josie, if I was sure she wouldn’t get up until the following morning. But I was anticipating that she might wake up in the middle of the night looking for food.
That looks amazing!
Ang thoughtful naman ng mommy ni Sam.
11:23 pm and my mouth is totally watering. Definitely making soon.
Soloops, hehehe she gets grouchy when she’s hungry
Cate, I was able to do this at home already but the bread I used (ordinary white loaf) was all wrong. Still delicious though. But I’m getting a better variety of bread and do it again.
im definitely making this again!thanks for the recipe..sure tastes good! wish my hubby is here to feast on my cooking…huhuhuhuhu
hi ms. connie. i tried making this one but the result was a bit watery. (it’s my first time to try this, and the baked mac too. the baked mac turns out perfect and my mom loved it. sarap daw magkaroon ng unico hijo.
) ) thanks!
Christian, try cooking the mussels a bit longer during the first stage.
Hello Connie, thanks for this recipe. Ang sarap. Instead of using a regular cheese, I used gorgonzola cheese (its a little on the pungent side, but it imparts a big flavor in any dishes). Sprinkle a little bit of mozzarela cheese on top, then cook in high heat for 2-3 minutes just to melt the cheese. Thanks Connie for the recipe. Keep up the good work.
By the way, when will your cookbook be available? Will it be available at Barnes and Noble? Is it only available in Pinas?
It’s available online. On Tastebook. Print on demand.
