- Scrub mussel shells then steam open in a large pot.
- Run cold water over mussels and open shells keeping the best half of the shell.
- Place the half shell on the oven tray with 1 debearded mussel on each shell.
- Drizzle melted butter (with optional garlic mixed in) over each mussel.
- Drizzle about a half tsp of Sweet Chilli Sauce onto 12 of the mussels and sprinkle the chopped Corriander over the sauce.
- Drizzle about a half tsp of wine over the rest of the mussels.
- Mix the breadcrumbs and cheese and sprinkle over the 25 mussels.
- Grill for about 5 minutes until the cheese melts and the crumb are golden brown.
