Ingredients

• 2 pounds Fresh mussels
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 Shallots (finely chopped)
• 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 Baguette (sliced and toasted for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the mussels under cold running water. Scrub the shells and remove beards if necessary. Discard any mussels with cracked shells or that do not close when tapped lightly.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped shallots and garlic to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until softened and fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Dijon mustard and whisk until fully combined.

Step 5

Add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mussels to the pot. Cover with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally, until the mussels open. Discard any mussels that do not open.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the mussels and gently toss to coat them in the sauce.

Step 8

Serve the mussels in bowls with some of the sauce spooned over the top. Accompany with toasted baguette slices for dipping into the sauce.
