Easy Baked Mussels with a Creamy Pesto Topping
An appetizer is like the protagonist’s best friend in a teleserye. It’s there to hype up the main star. But sometimes, appetizers can steal the show and become the one dish that gets emptied the fastest. Such will be the case when you serve these baked mussels with pesto sauce. The melted cheese on top makes this dish a showstopper!
Want to give it a new screen name? A fancy-sounding option is mussels au gratin, perfect if you're preparing this for a romantic date. Or you can stick with baked tahong and keep your guests guessing your new secret ingredient. Whatever you choose, don't be surprised to receive a round of applause after the meal.
Tips
To check for freshness, tap any open shell; if it doesn’t close, the mussel is dead and not safe to cook.
