Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill, grill pan or broiler to medium-high heat.
  2. Stir together the butter, garlic, thyme leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several cracks pepper in a bowl until completely combined. Reserve 3 tablespoons for the mussels, then spread the remaining on the cut sides of the baguette.
  3. Melt the reserved thyme butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan with a lid over medium heat. Add the shallots and thyme sprigs to the butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour in the wine, then bring to a simmer and add the mussels. Cover and cook until the mussels are all open, about 5 minutes. Discard any broken or unopened mussels.
  4. Meanwhile, place the bread on the grill butter side down (or under a broiler, butter side up), until charred in spots, about 5 minutes.
  5. Divide the mussels among bowls, then pour any broth over the mussels. Top with the parsley. Cut or tear the bread into pieces and serve with the mussels.
