Clams

Topping

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Clams

    Rinse the fresh littleneck clams under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Scrub the shells gently with a brush.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel, reserving the bacon fat.

Make the Topping

  1. 3

    Sauté Garlic

    In the same skillet with the reserved bacon fat, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Mixture

    Add butter, Italian breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir until well combined and the mixture is slightly toasted, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Bacon

    Crumble the cooked bacon and fold it into the breadcrumb mixture.

Assemble and Cook

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 7

    Fill the Clams

    Place the cleaned clams on a baking sheet. Spoon the breadcrumb topping generously over each clam.

  3. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the clams have opened.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Remove from oven, let cool for a minute, and serve warm, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
