Mussels au gratin with lemon, a delicious lemon-scented appetizer. Ideal to serve at a fish dinner accompanied by a glass of good white wine.

Mussels au gratin with lemon are a very simple recipe perfect for preparing delicious and quick appetizers to be offered on the occasion of quick summer menus. I do not recommend making frozen mussels au gratin: get some very fresh mussels for this appetizer.

Alternatively, you can serve the mussels prepared following this recipe as a fish main course by slightly increasing the doses.
