Step 4: Steam the Mussels
Place the cleaned mussels in a large pot over medium heat. Cover and cook for 5–7 minutes until they open. Discard any that do not open. Remove one shell from each mussel and arrange the half-shells on your baking tray.
Step 5: Add the Topping
Top each mussel with a small spoonful of the garlic butter mixture. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle generously over each mussel for a golden crust.
Step 6: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling. For extra crispness, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
