Bring mix to a boil over high heat. Add in mussels, and cover. Cook, shaking pan often, till mussels open, 5 to 6 min. Throw away any mussels which fail to open.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer mussels to a large bowl, reserving liquid in pan. Sprinkle 1/4 c. parsley over the mussels. Remove and throw away bay leaves and thyme. Return liquid to low heat; stir in creme fraiche and remaining 1/4 c. parsley. Cook just till hot again, and pour over mussels. Serve.
