Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the fresh clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Place them in a pot with a little water over medium heat until they open up. Discard any clams that do not open.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove it from the skillet, crumble it, and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Topping

    In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the breadcrumbs, crumbled bacon, parsley, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the opened clams on a baking sheet. Spoon the topping mixture generously over each clam.

  5. 5

    Bake the Clams

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the topping is golden and crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Almejas al Casino!
