Baked Tahong

1lb fresh or frozen tahong
3T.bread crumbs
2 cloves minced garlic
cheddar cheese
salt and pepper
unsalted butter,lemon juice,hot sauce

1. If you can purchase mussells/ tahong in half shell then omit this step.I could only buy the frozen one with both shell intact so I steamed it until it opened.
2. Preheat oven in broil or use a BBQ grill outside.
3. Lay all the half shell in a  sheet pan, mix softened butter ,salt, pepper,minced garlic,lemon juice blend it well like a mayo consistency add hot sauce if you prefer.
4.Spread a small butter sauce on top  sprinkle bread crumbs and cheese and broil it for 4-5 minutes.They cooked very fast. Serve with lemon wedges.
