Baked Clam Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion in heated oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, making sure not to brown the garlic. Stir in the clams, thyme, and oregano. Remove from heat and stir in the beaten egg. Once combined, mix in breadcrumbs and spoon mixture into 4 ramekins; arrange on a baking sheet. Drizzle butter over each ramekin.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Pick over clams, and set them in a colander over a bowl to collect juices. When clams are well drained, transfer them to another bowl.
• In a sauté pan, combine onion, red pepper and parsley with 2 tablespoons butter; cook gently over medium-low heat until vegetables are very soft but not brown. Add to bowl with clams. Crumble half the saltines in your hands, and stir into clam mixture.
• Measure amount of juice from clams and add enough milk or half-and-half to make 1 cup. Add to clam mixture along with eggs, and stir to mix well. Add salt and black pepper to taste, and chili pepper, if you wish.
• Use 1/2 tablespoon butter to butter bottom and sides of a 1-quart baking or soufflé dish. Turn clam mixture into dish.
• Crumble remaining saltines a little more finely than first batch. In sauté pan, combine cracker crumbs with remaining butter; cook over medium heat just until they start to brown. Spoon crumbs over clams, and set dish in oven for 1 hour, checking after 45 minutes. If top of casserole is still pale, turn heat to 425 degrees for last 15 minutes. If it is starting to get too brown, place a sheet of aluminum foil loosely over top while casserole finishes cooking. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
• In a large frying pan, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until translucent. Stir in clams, crab meat, parsley, lemon pepper, and bread crumbs. Reduce heat to low, and slowly pour in clam juice until mixture is slightly sticky, but not wet. The bread crumbs will continue to absorb moisture, so be careful not to add too much clam juice.
• Fill each clean clam shell with mixture, pressing tightly into shell. Arrange on a baking sheet, and sprinkle lightly with paprika. (Stuffed shells may be covered and frozen at this point for later use.)
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and sizzling. If frozen, bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or until warmed through. Serve warm on a platter with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Wash the clams very well. Put them, the clam juice, water and vermouth in a big pot with a cover. Cook them over very high heat, bringing them to a boil, until they are just cooked, removing them one by one, or by the few, to a roasting pan or other flat tray, with tongs or a hand-held sieve, the instant they pop open.
• Once they've cooled, remove the clams from the shells. Divide top and bottom shells. Wash as many as you plan to serve, and leave them to dry. Add any liquid left with the clams to the liquid in the clam pot.
• Sauté the cup of garlic, leeks, celery and fennel in 3 tablespoons of butter, adding only the tiniest, barest bit of salt to help the vegetables release their liquid. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until leeks are tender and taste good. Through a fine strainer, add all the liquid in the clam pot. Bring to a boil, and cook down until only about 1 cup of liquid remains. Add the heavy cream. Taste for salt. Add the chopped leaves and chervil and the clams, either whole or roughly chopped.
• Divide the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter into 24 small squares. If it seems difficult, use more butter. No precision needed. Fill each half clamshell very full with the clam mixture - with either 1 clam per shell, if left whole, or a spoonful, if chopped. Top each half with a sprinkle of bread crumbs and a tiny square of butter.
• Put in a single layer, in 1 or 2 large roasting or baking pans, under the broiler at its highest setting, quite close to the broiler. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Place a potatoes in a layer in the bottom of a large pot. Cover with a layer of clams, then mussels, and finally the shrimp. Pour in the vermouth and enough chicken broth to fill the pot halfway. You may not need all of the broth, depending on the size of your pot. Cut a half cup of the butter into cubes and place on top of the seafood. Cover with a lid, and seal tightly with aluminum foil.
• Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium-low heat for 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, and carefully remove the foil and lid. Remove the seafood and potatoes from the liquid and serve on a large platter, family-style.
• Melt 1/2 cup of reserved butter, and divide into 4 individual dishes for dipping. Serve with French bread and remaining softened butter for the bread.

Steps:

• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add clams, and boil until all of the clams are open, about 5 minutes. Drain, and remove the empty half of the shell from each one. Place the full halves onto a baking sheet.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the crackers, garlic powder, and parsley into a large resealable bag. Crush until fine, and mash to mix. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cracker crumb mixture, and cook until golden brown, stirring constantly. Spoon onto the clams in the shells.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until browned and topping is crispy. Serve with lemon and hot pepper sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Sprinkle the clams, onion, potato and bacon over the bottom of the pie shells. In a bowl, beat together the eggs, cream and poultry seasoning. Pour this mixture over the clams.
• Bake 30 to 40 minutes, until set and lightly browned.

Steps:

• Place clam juice, potatoes, carrots, and onion in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes.
• Add clams and salt and pepper to taste.
• Mix flour with light cream or milk (heavy cream will make the mixture too thick), and stir into the clam mixture.
• Bring to boil, stirring until the mixture thickens, remove from heat. Let mixture cool.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and prepare 1 pie shell in baking dish. Pour cooled mixture into the shell, and cover with the remaining shell, sealing the edges and poking airholes in the top.
• Bake for 10 minutes at 400, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook about 30 minutes longer, until the crust is golden brown.
• Let the pie cool in order to let the filling set.

Steps:

• Coat a 9-inch pie pan or individual ramekins with cooking spray.
• In a 3-quart saucepan, fry bacon over medium-high heat until crisp.
• Add in the onion; cook and stir 3-4 minutes or until softened.
• Stir in corn, chowder, clams, thyme, and Tabasco; bring to a boil.
• Transfer mixture to the prepared pie pan.
• In a small bowl, toss the breadcrumbs, melted butter, and parsley.
• Sprinkle crumbes evenly over the top.
• Bake in a 350° oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Sprinkle pie shells with clams, onion, potato, and bacon, dividing equally.
• In a bowl, beat together eggs, cream, and seasoning.
• Pour over mixture in pie shells.
• Bake at 375 for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown.

Steps:

• Simmer clams and clam juice with lemon juice in a small saucepan. In blender or processor, add onion, pepper, parsley, garlic, oregano turn on and finely process. Add this mixture to saute pan with melted butter and saute. Add wine. Add clams and juice and bread crumbs to the sauted mixture, stir until throughly combined. You can pour into pie pan and freeze now or pour into glass pie pan and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top and bake at 350 degree oven for 15 minutes if not frozen, 30 minutes, if frozen. (cook till brown on top) Serve with crackers or slice into individual pieces.

Steps:

• The ingredients listed are suggested. Feel free to use whatever ingredients your party likes and has available. This technique is for an indoor clambake. Optimally, a clambake is held on the beach in a rock lined sand pit in which a fire has been going for hours and the red embers have heated the rocks to over 400 degrees. Placing the large wash tin on a few lit burners on the stovetop can create a similar effect. Place rocks down first. Let heat for 15 minutes. Once rocks are hot, place seaweed on rocks then begin to insert the clams. Place one pie tin above the clams. Place leeks and butter in the tin, cover with the second tin. Continue adding rest of ingredients. Pour 2 gallons of fresh water (or sea water if possible) over entire tub. Cover tightly and let steam and cook for at least 20 minutes. When eggs on top have become hard-boiled, the rest of ingredients should be cooked as well. Plate and eat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350deg;F. Slice top 2 inches off bread and reserve for lid. Cut out insides of bread, leaving 1-inch-thick shell. (Reserve cut-out bread for another use.) Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, mayonnaise, and horseradish in large bowl until blended. Mix in clams and green onions. Season with salt and pepper.Spoon filling into bread. Place reserved lid on bread. Wrap bread tightly in 2 layers of heavy-duty foil; place on heavy large baking sheet.
• Bake until filling is very hot and bread is crusty, about 1 1/2 hours. Unwrap bread. Place on large tray. Remove lid; lean lid against bread at angle.

Steps:

• Saute first 4 ingredients for 5 to 6 minutes. Add remaining ingredients; mix. Pour mixture into pie shell. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a 4-quart heavy pot, then add clams and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until clams just open, 4 to 8 minutes, checking frequently after 4 minutes. (Discard any clams that haven't opened after 8 minutes.) Transfer clams as they open with a slotted spoon to a bowl and discard cooking water.
• Preheat broiler.
• Shuck clams and reserve 24 half shells. Scrub reserved shells inside and out, then dry.
• Return clams to shells and arrange in a shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pan.
• Divide stuffing and cheese among clams and top each with a piece of bacon and a drop of Worcestershire sauce.
• Broil clams 5 to 6 inches from heat until bacon is cooked and stuffing is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• If serving the same day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium size skillet, saute the butter, onion and garlic over low heat a minute or two, being careful not to let the garlic brown.
• Add the clams with their juice, parsley flakes and oregano to the pan and mix.
• Saute for a few minutes and then add the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
• The texture should be like a paste.
• If not, adjust by adding bread crumbs.
• Put mixture in an oven proof pie dish and add paprika sprinkled on top.
• Bake in 350 degree oven, for 25 to 30 minutes, until slightly golden and bubbly.
• Serve warm with crackers.

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch dice.
• Heat butter and bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then add onion, garlic, and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is pale golden, about 5 minutes. Add bay leaf, thyme, clove, carrots, celery, and potatoes and reduce heat to moderate, then cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden and almost tender, about 15 minutes (be careful not to let them burn). Add wine, scraping up any brown bits.
• Stir together clam juice and cornstarch. Add to vegetables in skillet and bring to a simmer. Cover skillet and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove lid and stir in clams with their liquor. Bring to a simmer and cook 1 minute, then remove from heat and cool to warm, uncovered. Discard bay leaf and clove.
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.
• Roll out 1 pastry sheet into a 12-inch square on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Cut out 3 squares of pastry that are at least 1 inch larger all around than tops of soup bowls. Repeat with remaining pastry sheet.
• Divide clam filling among soup bowls (leaving at least a 3/4-inch space between surface of filling and tops of bowls). Brush 1 pastry square with egg and cover 1 bowl with it, egg side down, pressing edges of pastry firmly onto outside of bowl. Repeat with remaining squares of pastry and bowls. Brush tops of pastry with remaining egg.
• Bake pies in bowls in a large shallow baking pan until pastry is golden and puffed, about 20 minutes.
