Ingredients
  

For the Clams

  • 2 dozen Little Neck clams
  • 1 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1 tbsp grated Pecorino cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • Wash the clams under fresh water, shuck them .see note
  • Using a butter knife pry the clams open and remove the top shell and discard.
  • Completely pull the clam away from the bottom shell and place it back in the bottom shell. This will allow for easy eating.
  • In a bowl, add your ingredients and mix well until the oil has been fully absorbed by the bread crumbs. The bread will look uniformly wet.
  • Add salt and pepper as desired.
  • Place all the open clams in a baking sheet and with a teaspoon put the breadcrumbs in each clam until the clam is completely covered.
  • Bake at 500F for 5-7 minutes, then put under the broiler for1 minute to brown

Notes

Trick (Place the clams on a sheet tray and put them in the preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes or until the clams just begin to open. We don't want to cook the clams, we just want them to open a little.)
