20 min

  • Step 1

    Make sure all your mussels have been cleaned and rinsed. Place the mussels in a large pot, so they can cover the bottom without piling on top of each other. Add in the chicken broth, fresh oregano sprigs, and thyme sprigs.
    Step 1

  • Step 2

    Cover the pot and bring the pot to a strong simmer. Remove the lid, and continue simmering the pot for about 5 minutes so the broth reduced slightly. Then, transfer the mussels and herbs to a clean serving plate. Leave the broth in the pot.
    Step 2

  • Step 3

    Turn the stove’s heat down to low. Melt the butter into the broth. Then, gently stir in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper.

  • Step 4

    When the liquid is heated through and emulsified, stir in the parmesan cheese. Once the cream sauce has thickened, pour it over the mussels for serving. Enjoy!
