Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Clams

    Rinse the Jersey clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Scrub the shells with a brush to ensure they are clean. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from the pan and let it drain on paper towels. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, using the bacon drippings, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil if needed. Sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Mix the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, chopped bacon, Italian breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 5

    Stuff the Clams

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take each clam shell and spoon the filling mixture on top of each clam. Place the stuffed clams on a baking sheet.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Clams

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

  2. 7

    Serve

    Once baked, remove the clams from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as an appetizer.
