Mussels in the oven
Description
The cooking process is simple, but the result is excellent. The mussel on the shell isn't just baked in the oven—it's enhanced with a mushroom sauce. The aroma of mushrooms, melted cheese, and spices infuses the mussel meat. The juice that forms is retained in the shell, making the mussel meat juicy and appetizing. The dish stays in the oven for only 15 minutes, which is more than enough time for it to cook completely.

5. Place the mussels in their shells onto a baking tray. Carefully spoon one teaspoon of sauce over each shell. Arrange them as evenly as possible to prevent the juice from spilling onto the tray. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius. Put the tray with mussels into the oven and bake for 15 minutes. After that, remove from the oven. The dish is ready.
