Clams and Topping

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the freshly shucked clams on a baking sheet, half-shell side down.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and let cool, then crumble into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Topping

    In the same skillet with the bacon fat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and chopped bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the crumbled bacon, green onions, parsley, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.

  4. 4

    Top the Clams

    Spoon the topping mixture generously onto each clam.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the topping is golden and crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
