Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from skillet, crumble, and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add butter and olive oil. Once melted, sauté the diced onion and green bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Mix in the crumbled bacon, breadcrumbs, and half of the Parmesan cheese into the sautéed mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembling and Baking

  1. 6

    Rinse the clams under cold water and scrub the shells to remove any dirt.

  2. 7

    Place the clams on a baking tray, hinge side up.

  3. 8

    Spoon the bacon and vegetable mixture generously onto each clam.

  4. 9

    Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top of the filled clams.

  5. 10

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

  6. 11

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
