Baked Mussels

Baked Stuffed Mussels, a fantastic appetizer always full of flavor.

• 1/2 Cup Pecorino cheese
• 1/4 Bread crumbs
• 2 Eggs
• 2 Tbs EV olive oil
• 4 Cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 Tbs Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Wash the mussels under fresh water.
With a knife, open each mussel and leave the fruit on one half of the shell.
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the batter... the batter will be rather soft.
Place all  the mussels on a baking sheet and with a teaspon put some batter on each mussel to completely cover the meat/fruit.
