The ingredients indicated in the recipe do not need to be prepared at once. First, take the essentials. These are frozen mussels and marinade composition - soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, vegetable oil, dried garlic, herb mixture, hot ground pepper, onions. Mussels must be marinated first.

Defrost frozen mussels in a bowl at room temperature.

Lower the thawed mussels into cold water, put on a heat and cook for 2 minutes after boiling. Remove the formed foam with a spoon. Tip the ready-made mussels into a colander and leave to cool. I got 170 grams of finished product.

While the mussels cool, make the marinade. In a separate bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, vegetable oil, dried garlic, herb mixture to your taste, hot ground pepper (I have a mixture of four peppers)

Cut the onion into half rings and remember it a little so that it starts juice.

Add the marinade and cut onions to the cooled mussels, mix everything well, cover with cling film and put marinate in the refrigerator for 10 - 12 hours. You can marinate in the morning and in the evening already make sandwiches, or vice versa. How comfortable you are.

Now make the remaining ingredients. Cut off 4 pieces of white bread. You need to cut as thin as possible, it does not play a special role in this recipe and is suitable instead of & quot; plates & quot; for the main product. In a non-stick frying pan, fry each piece without oil until ruddy on one side. Immediately rub each piece with a garlic clove.

Break one egg into a cup, whisk with a fork and pour into a preheated pan to make a pancake. Fry two sides for two minutes. The pan can be greased with a silicone brush wetted in vegetable oil. I made two pancakes - I mixed a marinade from mussels with one egg, so the pancakes turned out to be different colors. But this can not be done, it is not reflected in the taste of the dish. Cut the finished pancake into 4 parts and put on the fried side of the bread.

For each pancake, put 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise in the center. Drain the marinade from the mussels and place them, evenly distributed, on a sandwich.

Grate the cheese over a coarse grater. You can take anyone at your discretion.

Spread the grated cheese evenly over the top and place half a cherry tomato in the center. If you want, you can not steal. Put a sandwich on a preheated frying pan with no oil and fry it under the lid over a low heat until the cheese melts. At the same time, the side of the bread that was not fried will brown.

Sandwiches are ready! Put them on the dish and decorate as you like! It is better to eat slightly cooled or cold. Enjoy your meal!

I loved the balsamic sauce sandwich. The taste is incredible!
