I'm not a big fan of mussels, but I loved this mussel gratin. The sauce is so creamy and flavorful, and the breadcrumb topping adds a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this dish again.

Overall, I thought this mussel gratin was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. I might try a different recipe next time.

I was disappointed with this mussel gratin. The mussels were tough and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought the breadcrumb topping on this mussel gratin was a bit too thick. I'll try using less breadcrumbs next time.

The mussels in this gratin were a bit overcooked. I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I found this mussel gratin to be a bit too salty. I think I'll try using less salt next time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful this mussel gratin was. The white wine, garlic, and herbs really enhanced the taste of the mussels. I also loved the crispy breadcrumb topping. It added a nice textural contrast to the dish.
