Crispy Baked Mussels #glutenfree

With seafood being one of the favourites for Christmas lunch.in Australia, I thought I would give you a quick and easy recipe for mussels  that can be served as a starter or simply added to a buffet of all the beautiful food you have prepared for this special occasion.

Cook about 8 minutes or the mussels open shells.
