Great entertaining dish. I usually like mussels in their own water but this is a welcome exception.

For 5 lbs mussels (about 4 people depending on how much they eat ?). I serve it as an appetizer alongside other seafood apps:

• 5 lbs mussels, larger mussels require more filling (about 45-60 mussels depending on size)
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter melted
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1/2 onion finely chopped
• 3 tbsp parsley finely chopped
• Salt, pepper
• 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs, plus more for sprinkling
• Juice from 1/2 lime
• 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
• 3/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl except for mussels. Should have a bit of a runny consistency.
2. Scrub the mussels. Place them in a heavy skillet or pot. Cover and steam over a medium flame until the mussels open.
3. When cool enough to handle, remove one half shell from each mussel. Place the other half  on a baking sheet.
4. Place a spoonful of mixture on mussels and sprinkle with crumbs.
5.  Bake at 425°F just long enough to heat through.
6. Serve on hot plates.
