BAKED CHEESY MUSSELS has become a popular appetizer in the Philippines. Usually served on special occasions. My version has mayo and lots of cheese and garlic. It’s soooo good. It’s my family’s favorite!

Ingredients (8)

Mussels(2 lb, frozen cooked, defrosted, cleaned, and pat dry with paper towels)
(about 25 pieces)
Garlic(4 cloves, minced)
Mozzarella(1 ½ cups, shredded)
Mayonnaise(⅔ cup)
Salt(to taste)
Black pepper(to taste)
Sriracha hot sauce(1 Tbsp)
Green onions(chopped)
for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 °F.
In a small bowl, combine mayo (⅔ cup), mozzarella cheese (1 ½ cups), garlic (4 cloves), Sriracha (1 Tbsp), salt (to taste), and black pepper (to taste). Mix until combined.
Arrange the mussels (2 lb) on a baking sheet.
Top the mussels with the cheese mixture. (I did a small dollop of cheese mixture on the mussels, then spread.)
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
Broil on top until cheese slightly browns
Top with green onions.
Serve immediately. Enjoy!
