INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare mussels: Scrub mussels and beard them. Place mussels in a large sauce pan and add other ingredients. Cover tightly until mussels open. Remove mussels from shells and keep warm in a chafing dish. Prepare sauce: Somewhat boil down the liquid mussels were cooked in. Mix butter, flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg together to make a roux, then add liquid. Cook for 5 minutes. Add beaten egg yolks thinned with cream. Stir into sauce, reheat (but do not boil) and pour over mussels. Serve hot.

A Message from our Provider:
“If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss. #Bryan Chapell”
