Ingredients

• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cans Canned clams, drained (reserve the juice)
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or ovenproof skillet and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the sautéed garlic, canned clams, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and hot sauce (if using) to the cream cheese. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Gradually stir in 2 tablespoons of the reserved clam juice until the mixture reaches a scoopable, creamy consistency. Add more juice if needed.

Step 6

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then transfer it to your prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the dip.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with crackers, fresh baguette slices, or crunchy vegetables like celery and carrots.
