  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 24 fresh clams (littleneck or cherry stone)
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-style)
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– ¼ cup olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Lemon wedges, for serving


Instructions

Creating Savory Clams Oreganata is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Clean the Clams: Rinse the clams under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any grit.
3. Prepare the Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, minced garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
4. Arrange the Clams: Place the cleaned clams on a baking sheet, opening them slightly to create space for the topping.
5. Top the Clams: Generously spoon the breadcrumb mixture onto each clam, pressing it down gently.
6. Bake the Clams: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the clams are fully closed after cooking; discard any that remain open.
8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving with lemon wedges.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly.
