Method
- Use the cleaned, steamed half-shell mussels listed in the ingredients. Discard damaged mussels, any live mussels that do not close when tapped, and any that remain closed after cooking; keep the cooked mussels chilled if preparing ahead.
- Arrange the half-shell mussels on a baking tray.
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, garlic, lemon juice and a little black pepper.
- Place a small pat of garlic butter on each mussel and top with grated cheese.
- Bake in a preheated 200°C (390°F) oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
- Serve hot as an appetizer or pulutan.
