2. Preheat Your Oven:

Get your oven ready by preheating it to 180°C (350°F) for baking later.

3. Prep the Mussels:

Boil a pot of water, then add your mussels and cook for around 4-5 minutes until they begin to pop open. Drain and set them aside.

4. Cream Cheese Mix:

In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, and lemon pepper seasoning. Mix well to make sure the flavour is evenly spread through the cream cheese.

5. Shell the Mussels:

Once the mussels are cool enough to handle, remove them from their shells, discarding one shell, and place the mussels back into the remaining shell.

6. Top ‘Em Up:

Spoon the cream cheese mixture generously onto each mussel and then top with breadcrumbs. The more breadcrumbs, the better – you want that crispy finish.
