In this creative spin on clams casino, zucchini coins stand in for the bivalves.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup coarse fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 oz. finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1/3 cup using rasp grater)
  • 1 Tbs. minced shallot
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 small zucchini
  • 2 slices bacon

Preparation

  • Position a rack 6 inches from the broiler element and heat the broiler on high. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmigiano-Reggiano, shallot, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1 Tbs. water.
  • Slice the zucchini crosswise into fifteen 1/4-inch-thick rounds and arrange in a single layer on a small rimmed baking sheet. Using your fingers, mound the breadcrumb mixture on the zucchini rounds, firmly pinching the mixture so it holds together.
  • Cut the bacon crosswise into fifteen 1-inch pieces and place on top of the breadcrumbs. Broil until the bacon and some of the exposed breadcrumbs are browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Serve hot.

    Made as a side dish. Tasty but not amazing. I used a melon baller to scoop and place the breading and it was quite easy. I would make again, but only as a side dish. I didn’t think they had quite enough “oomph” to be a stand-alone appetizer.

    Made these as a side dish for our wedding anniversary dinner, adding a clove of minced garlic and using wild boar bacon. They were delicious. Thanks to hoydich for the tip about using a round measuring spoon.

    We have made something similar in the past using garlic rather than minced shallot and without bacon; the bacon adds a wonderful extra dimension, and the coins of zucchini make it company-worthy. If you were pressed for time and making this as a side dish, you could just halve the zucchini lengthwise, and go from there.

    Will definitely make again.
