Clams

Method

Preparation

1

Clean the Clams

Rinse the clams under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any sand or dirt. Soak them in fresh water for about 20 minutes to help them purge any sand.

2

Cook the Bacon

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

3

Prepare the Topping

In a bowl, combine the chopped bacon, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped bell pepper, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Cooking

4

Bake the Clams

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the cleaned clams on a baking sheet, open side up. Spoon the topping mixture generously over each clam.

5

Final Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the clams have opened.

6

Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
