Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the topneck clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped parsley, lemon juice, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to combine.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Clams

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the cleaned clams on a baking sheet. Spoon the filling mixture generously over each clam.

  4. 4

    Bake

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the clams from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with lemon wedges on the side.
