Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesy Mayo Mussels

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C), placing the rack in the middle position.
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Ensure your frozen New Zealand green mussels are thawed and blanched, then arrange them shell-side down on a lined baking sheet.
Dollop the creamy mayonnaise mixture over each mussel and sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Let the mussels cool for a minute before serving hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
