Instructions

Prepare the Clams
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the clams in cold water to remove any sand or debris. Place them in a pot with a little water, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes until they open. Discard any clams that do not open.

Make the Filling

Stuff the Clams
Once the clams are cool enough to handle, carefully remove the top shell and place the clam on the half shell. Spoon the breadcrumb mixture generously on top of each clam.
