Baked Clams Recipe
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.)
