Instructions

    1.
    Ensure all mussels are thoroughly cleaned and rinsed. Place them in a large pot, covering the bottom without overcrowding. Add the chicken broth, fresh oregano sprigs, and thyme sprigs.
    2.
    Cover the pot and bring to a strong simmer. Remove the lid and continue simmering for about 5 minutes, allowing the broth to reduce slightly. Transfer the mussels and herbs to a clean serving plate, leaving the broth in the pot.
    3.
    Reduce the stove's heat to low. Melt the butter into the broth. Gently stir in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
    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 immediately!
