Clams Casino Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Clams

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Place them in a baking dish, slightly open.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

3. 3

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic until they are soft and translucent.

4. 4

   Mix the Topping

   In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, crumbled bacon, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

5. 5

   Top the Clams

   Spoon the mixture over each clam in the baking dish, pressing down slightly to adhere.

6. 6

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the clams are cooked through.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm as an appetizer.
