It's a lovely evening with gorgeous weather, simply the type of evening i longed for during the past few months. So I'm chilling and i want a treat, a snack an appetizer. Let me cut to the chase i plan to bake mussels this evening. The recipes for this dish are pretty much identical and consist of: mussels, butter, bread crumbs, parsley, olive oil, grated cheese and a little S&P.

I don't have bread crumbs and i could care less. It is a simple dish and i'll tell you guys how it turns out.

I will bake 1 dozen, 6 mussels with parmesan cheese and 6 w/o - both varieties will of course include grated garlic, butter, parsley, olive oil and S&P.

Indeed, they look delicious.
I could eat all of them in 10 minutes. [Razz]
How did you 'bake' them? On a grill? (oven) or on a barbecue?? (you did not mention)

And DG i baked the mussels in the oven on a baking pizza pan, for about 15 minutes, bake them accordingly though a little less or a little more, until the ingredients turn a golden crisp color.

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 pound large mushrooms
* 6 tablespoons butter
* 3 green onions, minced
* 3 to 4 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
* 4 ounces crab meat
* 1 cup fresh fine bread crumbs
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon Cajun or Creole seasoning blend
* 1/8 teaspoon pepper
* 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

PREPARATION:
Wash and trim the end of stems from mushrooms. Pop remaining stem out. Chop stems and set aside. Melt 2 tablespoons butter; brush over mushrooms. Spray a shallow baking dish (about 8-inch square, or one which will fit mushrooms in one layer) with butter-flavored spray or grease with butter.

Melt remaining butter in skillet; add reserved chopped stems, minced green onions and red bell pepper.

sorry JB here it is

Melt remaining butter in skillet; add reserved chopped stems, minced green onions and red bell pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender. Combine cooked ingredients with bread crumbs, crab meat, and seasonings. Fill each mushrooms, piling up. Sprinkle each mushroom with a little Parmesan cheese, if desired. Bake at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes, until hot and mushroom caps are tender.
Makes 16 to 20 stuffed mushroom appetizers.
