method
1. Put the mussels in a pan of boiling salted water, add the lemon slices, cover and cook for about 7 minutes, until the mussels have opened. Remove with a slotted spoon, discarding any that have not opened. Remove the empty top shells from the mussels and discard.
2. Beat the remaining ingredients together and spread the mixture on top of the mussels. Place on a baking sheet and cook in the oven for 5 minutes or until golden.
3. Arrange on a warmed serving dish and garnish with the parsley and lemon.
If you feel daunted by the amount of preparation needed, buy ready-cleaned mussels which only need rinsing and the beards pulling off.
