Ingredients

  • 24 pieces frozen half-shell mussels, thawed
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons Sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, cheese, sweet chili sauce, green onions, and lime juice. Gently stir until incorporated.
  2. Arrange mussels in a single layer on an aluminum foil or parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of mayo-chili mixture on each shell and spread to cover the mussel fully.
  3. Bake in a 375 F oven for about 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • If using fresh mussels, prepare them following the instructions on the post. If using frozen half-shells, thaw completely.
  • Stir the topping ingredients just until combined. Make it when you're ready to top and bake the mussels, as the mixture tends to get "liquidy" as it stands.
  • Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to catch drips, as baked-on cheese can be pretty hard to scrub off.
  • If the topping is browning too fast before the mussels are cooked through, loosely tent with foil.
  • Do NOT overbake! As with most shellfish, mussels will shrink and toughen the longer they cook.
