Another bacon-rich razor clam treat are my other creation, these delectable clam stuffed poppers. But I also like clams on pizza, in a creamy pasta, and so much more.

TIP: My number one tip for making razor clams casino is to keep the clams as cold as possible before cooking.

Equipment

10 razor clam shells gently separate 5 razor clams to end up with 10 separate shells.
1 Sheet pan

Ingredients

5 razor clams save the shells (you will need 10 shells)
3 slices of thin bacon if you have thick bacon, use 2 slices
½ cup breadcrumbs
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
2 cloves garlic minced
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Gently separate the clam shells and clean them vigorously. Let dry on a metal sheet pan. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and let it cool on a paper towel. Once cooled, crumble it into small pieces.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, parsley, green onion, garlic, and crumbled bacon. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. I like trying a little sample to ensure I have enough salt.
Finely chop the razor clams. Divide them evenly on all the shells. Spoon a generous amount of the breadcrumb mixture onto each clam, pressing it down gently.
Bake the razor clams in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the clams are cooked through. Watch closely not to overcook the clams.
Remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm. Use a small spoon to eat.

To Air Fry

Set the air fryer to 375℉. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Notes

To Avoid them sliding around in a sheet pan: Gently crumble the foil and lay it on the sheet pan first.

Make Ahead: Assemble and make these ahead and place them in the fridge overnight. Once you're ready to cook them, pop in the oven right away. They will need to add a few more minutes to the cooking time.
