Preparation Method :

Discard any mussels that do not close when firmly tapped. Boil the wine or water in a large, heavy saucepan.
Add the mussels, cover and cook over a high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, shaking the pan frequently, until the mussel shells have opened. Remove from the heat.
Detach and discard the top shells, leaving each mussel in its lower shell. Arrange, side by side, in a large, shallow gratin dish or 4 individual gratin dishes.
Mix together the breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley and pepper and spoon over the mussels. Sprinkle the oil evenly over the top.
Cook in a preheated hot oven for 3 to 4 minutes or until the crumbs are just tinged brown.
