Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Clams

    Rinse the fresh clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Use a brush to scrub the shells if necessary. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Fill the Clams

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take each cleaned clam and carefully open it, discarding the top shell. Place the clam on a baking dish and spoon a generous amount of the breadcrumb mixture on top of each clam.

Baking

  1. 4

    Bake the Clams

    Once all clams are filled, place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the clams are cooked through.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve Hot

    Remove the baked clams from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve immediately.
