  • 300 g fresh or frozen mussels
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 100 g grated cheese like Gruyère or Emmental
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 bunch parsley

Equipment

Notes

You can easily swap seafood based on your preference; try using haddock or scallops. For a lighter dish, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a béchamel sauce. Fresh parsley and lemon juice make a significant difference in flavor compared to dried herbs or bottled juice. If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge for up to 2 days, and reheat in the oven for best results.
