Ameijoas Recheadas Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Clams

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the clams under cold water and place them in a pot with water. Bring to a boil and let them steam for about 5 minutes until they open. Remove the clams from the pot and let them cool. Discard any that remain closed.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and crumble into small pieces.

3. 3

   Make the Filling

   In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the breadcrumbs, crumbled bacon, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until combined.

4. 4

   Stuff the Clams

   Take the clam shells and place a spoonful of the filling mixture on top of each clam. Press down gently to secure the filling.

5. 5

   Bake

   Arrange the stuffed clams on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
