Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 500.Heat a large deep skillet over medium high heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Remove to drain on paper towels, but leave the drippings in the pan.Add leeks and saute until tender, about 3-5 minutes.Add wine and simmer for a minute or two.Place mussels in large deep roasting pan and pour the wine sauce over them. Cover the pan securely with foil and bake for 15 minutes or until mussels are open.Push mussels to the side and stir in the butter, if using. Sprinkle all with salt.
