Ameijoas à Casino Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Clams

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the clams thoroughly under cold water. Discard any that are open and do not close when tapped.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and chop into small pieces, leaving some grease in the pan.

3. 3

   Make the Filling

   In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Add the bread crumbs, chopped bacon, parsley, melted butter, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.

4. 4

   Stuff the Clams

   Place the cleaned clams in a baking dish. Spoon the breadcrumb mixture onto each clam shell, pressing down slightly to pack it.

5. 5

   Bake the Clams

   Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the clams are cooked through.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm as an appetizer.
