Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Clams

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    Finely chop the garlic and red bell pepper. Set aside for later use.

Making the Topping

  1. 4

    Combine Topping Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, crumbled bacon, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, melted butter, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Assembling Clams Casino

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 6

    Fill Clams

    Place the cleaned clams on a baking sheet. Spoon a generous amount of the topping mixture onto each clam, pressing down slightly to adhere.

  3. 7

    Bake

    Bake the clams in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the clams have opened (discard any that do not open).

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate and Serve

    Remove the clams from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
