Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Boil 4 cups of water in a large pot over high heat then pour in the white wine and lemon juice and bring it back to a boil.
- Gently add the mussels to the water and cover and let them steam for about 3 minutes or until they have all opened.
- Strain them from the water and place them in a colander to cool but do not discard the water in the pot.
- While the mussels are cooling, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat then stir in the garlic and let cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in the salt and pepper then remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- Remove the empty shells from the mussels then place the halves with the meat in them face up on a large baking pan, evenly spaced.
- Drizzle 3 to 4 tablespoons of boiled water mixture evenly over top of the mussels then drizzle the butter mixture on top.
- Sprinkle the tops with the Parmesan cheese and freshly minced parsley.
- Bake for 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted. Serve immediately with more freshly minced parsley for garnish and lemon wedges if desired.
