Mussels

Garlic & Herbed Toast

Method

Preparing the Mussels

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing any debris and removing the beards.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced shallots and garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot and pour in the white wine. Cover the pot and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.

  4. 4

    Discard Unopened Mussels

    Remove the pot from heat and discard any mussels that did not open.

Making the Garlic & Herbed Toast

  1. 5

    Prepare the Baguette

    Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. Drizzle olive oil over the cut side.

  2. 6

    Season the Toast

    Sprinkle garlic powder, dried herbs, and salt over the olive oil.

  3. 7

    Toast the Bread

    Place the baguette halves under a broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
