Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:
Prepare the specified products. Mussels should be purchased in unopened shells, preferably frozen in vacuum packaging. If mussels are sold in open casements, do not purchase such seafood!
Step 2:
Melt butter in a water bath, grate hard cheese on a grater with small cells. Peel a couple of garlic cloves, rinse and compress directly on the grated cheese. Add salt and mix the whole mass. If desired, you can add chopped herbs and ground red pepper - it will give the dish piquancy, but if children eat such a snack, then remove the bitter ingredients from the list.
Step 3:
Using a knife, carefully open the shells and remove the second leaf of each shell, cut off the muscle and stomach of the mussels, then rinse the seafood. Line the mold with foil and spread the shells with peeled mussels around it. If you have not found mussels in the shells on sale, then buy ordinary boiled-frozen, peeled ones. Rinse them and put them in an even layer on foil, cover with cheese mass before baking.
Step 4:
Put a little cheese and garlic mass in each shell, trying not to drop it on the mold. You can press the mass to the sinks with your hands. Place in a preheated oven and bake at 180 C for about 15-20 minutes until the cheese surface browns.
Step 5:
Then remove the mold from the oven and let the prepared snack cool down a little. You can sprinkle it with chopped herbs or ground red pepper. When baking, mussels will secrete juice.
Step 6:
Serve baked mussels with slices of lime or lemon to pour squeezed juice over them before tasting. This dish is especially delicious with a glass of white sparkling wine - very often it is prepared for a romantic dinner, because mussels are a natural aphrodisiac.

Mussels baked in the oven with cheese are very juicy and delicious. This snack is served hot so that the melted cheese stretches during tasting. Do not forget about fresh herbs and white wine - they enhance the taste of baked seafood. Remember that buying mussels with open shells is not recommended in any case.
