Clams

Method

Preparation of Clams

  1. 1

    Clean the Clams

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

  2. 2

    Open the Clams

    Using a clam knife or a small, sturdy knife, carefully pry open each clam shell. Discard the top shell and place the clam meat in a bowl.

Making the Stuffing

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

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

  2. 4

    Sauté Garlic

    In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Mix the Stuffing

    In a mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cooked bacon, sautéed garlic, chopped parsley, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 6

    Stuff the Clams

    Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly into each clam shell over the clam meat.

  2. 7

    Preheat the Oven

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

  3. 8

    Bake the Clams

    Arrange the stuffed clams on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and crispy.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Remove the baked clams from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Baked Clams Casino!
