I read for it this recipe several times already. I grew up with mussels, but now I do not eat them, I have no logical explanation why actually. However, this recipe very much intrigued me and wonder if I should try to adapt it to another product, or to do with mussels and invite guests to eat them ... I'm curious how it works. Predpoladam beshamelat tightens in cooling and remains seamlessly into the shell, right?

Aliana, and I thought it would leak half so I decided to bake in the oven. I had no problem when frying and became more delicious than roasted.
