Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh clams
- 8 slices bacon diced
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper finely chopped
- 1/4 cup green bell pepper finely chopped
- 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Scrub the clams under cold running water to remove any dirt or sand. Discard any clams that are cracked or don’t close when tapped.
- In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet with the remaining bacon grease, add the chopped bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in the breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and cooked bacon. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Arrange the clams on a baking sheet and spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over each clam.
- Place the baking sheet with the clams into the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the clams have opened and the topping is golden brown.
- Carefully remove the clams from the oven and serve them hot with lemon wedges on the side.
