Clams Casino Crostino

One crostino... Two crostini... You won't eat just one. But I like my recipes to rhyme. ;-)

Ingredients

4 ounces unsalted butter (1 stick)

10 slices thinly sliced bacon, diced

1 cup diced mini sweet peppers

1/2 cup diced onion

1/2 cup grated Parmesan 

2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley 

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

1 6.5 ounce cap chopped clams

1 baguette, cut into 24 1/4-inch slices

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 lemon, cut into wedges 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400F.

2. Melt butter in a pan over medium low heat; add bacon. Sauté bacon for 3-4 minutes. Add peppers and onions and reduce heat to low; cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.  

3. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheese, parsley, oregano, pepper, breadcrumbs, and clams; mix well.

4. Refrigerate mixture for two hours, stirring every 15 minutes.

5. As the mixture chills, lay the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush each slice with olive oil and sprinkle each with a pinch of salt. Bake until lightly golden and crispy, 7-8 minutes. Remove the crostini from the tray and set aside to cool.

6. Reduce oven to 375F.

7. Remove casino mixture from the refrigerator. Add a generous tablespoon of mixture to each crostino, mounding it firmly with your hand. 

8. Place the crostini onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, until the tops begin to brown.  

9. Carefully remove crostini from the baking sheet and serve with lemons and parsley as a garnish.
