Topping

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the clams

    Rinse the fresh clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Scrub the shells with a brush to ensure they are clean. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven

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

Making the Topping

  1. 3

    Prepare the breadcrumb mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, chopped oregano, chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

  2. 4

    Incorporate white wine and lemon

    Add the white wine and the juice of one lemon to the breadcrumb mixture. Stir until well combined and set aside.

Assembling and Baking

  1. 5

    Arrange the clams

    Place the cleaned clams in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a large oven-safe dish.

  2. 6

    Add the topping

    Spoon the breadcrumb mixture generously over each clam, pressing down lightly to ensure it sticks.

  3. 7

    Bake the clams

    Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the clams have opened.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Remove the clams from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve warm, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
