Step by step recipe

---

Stage 1 - 3 min.

Cook the mussels in a little boiling salted water for 1 or 2 minutes, just until they open.

For a more delicate flavour, you can also cook them like for mussels marinière.

Shell the mussels.

---

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Put each mussel in a little paper petit-four case.

---

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Arrange the paper cases in an oven-proof dish.

---

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Cut small slices of 3.5 oz Beurre d'escargot.

---

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Sit a morsel of beurre d'escargot on top of each mussel.

---

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Cook in the oven for 5 or 6 minutes at the most. Above all, do not let the butter brown.

Serve piping hot.

Remarks

If you don't have any paper cases, you can use half a mussel shell instead, but this is less practical as the capacity is generally a bit small.

Another more elegant solution, though rather more complicated, is to make little cases out of puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée).
