Mussels au gratin are a delicious seafood dish typical of Mediterranean cuisine. The mussels are opened and seasoned with grated Parmigiano cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic and parsley, then gratinated in the oven until a golden, crispy crust forms. This dish is perfect to serve as a main course during a special dinner or as an appetizer.
Wash and scrape the mussels very well to remove any encrustations
Rinse them several times under running water
Place them in a deep pan without adding water, cover and set over high heat, allowing them to open from the steam
When the mussels have opened, remove the empty half shells and place those with the mollusk in a wide baking dish arranged in a single layer
In a bowl combine well the Parmigiano, the breadcrumbs, the chopped parsley and garlic, the egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper
Fill the mussels with this mixture and sprinkle them with a handful of breadcrumbs
Add a few tablespoons of their remaining cooking liquid, filtered through a cloth, into the baking dish
Bake in a hot oven at 200°C for about 15 minutes and serve very hot
