I like clams in any iteration I can find. This recipe is one of the simplest. It’s just minced clams mixed with milk, egg, butter; and baked with bread crumbs on top. Nothing could be easier. With a crusty loaf of bread, it hits the spot.

Note that the recipe is for 2 servings. You can double the quantity for 4 or more servings.
