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.
