1
Prepare the Seafood
Rinse the mussels and clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any that are open and do not close when tapped.
2
Chop Garlic and Herbs
Mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley. Set aside.
3
Prepare the Baguette
Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick pieces and toast them until golden brown.

4
Melt Butter and Sauté
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5
Add Wine and Water
Pour in the white wine and water, then bring to a simmer.
6
Steam the Seafood
Add the rinsed mussels and clams to the pot. Cover and steam for 5-7 minutes until the shells open.
7
Add Herbs
Once the seafood is cooked, stir in the chopped parsley and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
