Clean the mussels thoroughly. Then, cover with water and steam in a large pot until the mussels open. Drain and remove the top shells (discard any closed mussels!). Place them in a casserole dish or baking sheet, close together so they won’t tip over. Preheat the grill to high. In a bowl, combine the butter with olive oil, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, and black pepper. Place a small mound of this cheese mixture on each mussel. Grill in the oven for 3-4 minutes, until the mussels are sizzling and golden brown. Serve with baguettes and lemon wedges. Note: If using frozen greenshell mussels, rinse them with cold water, thaw, and grill them at 180°C for about 7 minutes.
