- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Prepare the scrubbed mussels for cooking by rinsing under running water. Throw away any which are gaping, keeping only those which are firmly closed; also throw away any which are very heavy.
- Place the mussels in a pan with 2 to 3 Tbsp. of water or possibly dry white wine over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently, just till the mussels begin to open. (The mussels will continue cooking later). With a slotted spoon, remove the mussels to a bowl as they open.
- When all the mussels are removed, strain the liquid in the pot through a fine sieve or possibly several layers of cheesecloth. Reserve the liquid. (You should have 1/4 c. of liquid; if not, make up the difference with a little dry white wine or possibly water.) Remove the mussels from their shells, reserving a half shell for each mussel. Set the half shells on a baking sheet and place a mussel in each one.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic, parsley, oregano, grated cheese, and bread crumbs, then sprinkle the mix over the mussels in a thin layer. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and reserved strained mussel liquid over the breadcrumbs.
- Bake the mussels for about 10 min or possibly till the tops are brown and crisp. Serve piping warm or possibly at room temperature. Don't reheat.
- This recipe yields 4 to 8 servings.
