Instructions

  1. Dice shallots and sweat in butter, add thyme, deglaze with white wine and bring to the boil briefly. Add the cleaned mussels and cook until all the mussels are open.
  2. Remove the mussels from the broth and let them cool down.
  3. Melt the rest of the butter in a small saucepan, add the flour and some mussel stock and cook a thick bechamel.
  4. Now remove the mussel meat from the shells and chop finely. Finely cut the ham and mix with the mussels in the bechamel. This farce is now filled into half clam shells and smoothed out. Dip the mussels in egg and then in breadcrumbs and fry until golden brown.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
