Toast Preparation

Method

Clam Mixture Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Clams

    Rinse the fresh clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Soak them in a bowl of fresh water for about 30 minutes to help them expel any sand.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

  3. 3

    Cook the Clams

    Add the cleaned clams to the skillet and cover. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the clams open up. Discard any clams that remain closed.

  4. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Once the clams are cooked, stir in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Toast Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your broiler. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.

  2. 6

    Toast the Bread

    Place the slices of bread under the broiler, buttered side up, and toast for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Remove the toasted bread from the oven. Spoon the clam mixture generously over each slice and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

  4. 8

    Final Broil

    Return the clam-topped toast to the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
