Instructions

1 ✓

Thaw and drain mussels. Chop onion and garlic. Sauté onion in butter until translucent, add garlic for a minute.

Tip: Remove excess water from mussels to avoid soggy filling.
2 ✓

Add mussels, toss, then add cream, salt, pepper, and parsley.

Tip: Cream binds the filling.
3 ✓

Simmer 5-6 minutes until thickened and coating mussels. Cool completely.

Tip: Reduction concentrates flavor and prevents leakage. Hot filling melts pastry butter.
4 ✓

Cut puff pastry into 4-inch squares. Place filling in center.

Tip: Work quickly; keep pastry cool.
5 ✓

Fold into triangles, crimp edges with a fork. Brush with beaten egg.

Tip: Egg helps seal and brown.
6 ✓

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden.

Tip: Steam between layers lifts the pastry.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use canned mussels?
Yes, but drain and rinse well to remove brine or oil.
Filling leaked.
Reduce the cream sauce until very thick. If too runny, it leaks. Seal edges tightly.
