Baked Clams

Ingredients and Instructions

48 littleneck clams

1½ cups bread crumbs

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 tbsp. roasted peppers, minced

4 tbsp. olive oil

1 tbsp. oregano

1. First clean clams. Pry them open with a butter knife (it is

safer than steak knife). Cut out the clam and reserve in bowl.

Save one side of the clam shell for serving. We will need 48

halves.

2. In small bowl combine bread crumbs, garlic, peppers, oil and

oregano. Mix well. Now with the clams, I prefer to chop up all

the clams into little pieces (my preference). If you choose to

chop them up mix the chopped clams with other ingredients and

spoon mixture into clams shells. If you choose not to, take

whole clams and place back in shell and spoon mixture over clam.

3. Place clams on large cookie sheet and bake for about 10

minutes. If you like you can garnish with parmesan cheese and

lemon.

4. Please make sure before placing clam back into shell that you

clean them well.
