Ingredients:  
2 dozen littleneck clams
1 cup dried unseasoned breadcrumbs
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley (from about 1/2 bunch)
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Kosher salt and pepper
Lemon, for serving
Directions:
Directions:
Place the clams in a bowl of water (this will help purge them of any additional sand or grit) and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to broil. Combine the breadcrumbs, butter, parsley, and garlic in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper and set aside. Place the clams on a rimmed baking sheet or a 9×13 baking dish and place under the broiler until they start to pop open, 8-10 minutes. Once they’ve popped open, remove from the oven and let cool a minute or two. Using your hands, twist off the the top shell of each clam (this part is kinda fun) and discard. Pack a bit of the breadcrumb mixture over each clam, making sure each clam is pretty covered in breadcrumbs. Place clams back on the tray and return to the broiler until the top is all browned and crispy, 8-10 minutes. Serves 8.

Personal Notes:
Before I top the clams with the breadcrumbs, I put a bit of lemon juice over the clams. This keeps them fairly moist.
