Method
Prepare the mussels:

- Remove the mussels, reserving the cooking liquid.
- Add the cream and reduce the cooking liquid by half.

- Season with salt to taste and pour the sauce over the cooked mussels.
Prepare the toast:
- Cut the bread into slices about two fingers thick and set aside.
- Place the butter in a skillet and heat to 145°C or until it reaches a noisette (nutty brown) stage.
- Add the Elderflower Peaso. Stir well and allow to cool until it reaches a soft, spreadable consistency.
- Stir in the Nordic Shoyu and set aside.
- Spread the butter onto the sliced bread.
- Toast the buttered bread in the oven at 200°C for 5 minutes or until lightly toasted.
