This eye catching seafood appetizer is one of our favorites for a party! Full of Pacific razor clams, cream cheese, cheddar, and all the right spices to give the razor clams the spotlight. With a panko topping for an added crunch.
Preheat the oven to 350°. Spray a baking sheet with oil.
To a blender, add cream cheese, razor clams, cheese, green onion, spices and salt. Pulse until razor clams are finely chopped and all ingredients blended, about 8-12 pulses.
Spread a generous amount of clam dip mixture inside each half pepper.
Top with a generous amount of Panko topping on each pepper boat and place on a greased metal baking sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes.
Remove and let sit for 5 minutes prior to enjoying.
Air Fryer Recipe
Preheat air fryer to 375.
Place pepper boats in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes.
Remove and let sit for 5 minutes prior to enjoying.
Notes
Please note that no pepper is created equal, so you may end up with fewer or extra pepper boats.
Squeeze the razor clams to get the juice out prior to blending and pat dry with a paper towel.
If you don't have Cajun seasoning, I got you covered! Here's a substitute for Cajun seasoning: ½ teaspoon of chili powder, ¼ teaspoon of dried thyme, and a dash of cayenne pepper.
