SPICY CLAM DIP
In this chile-flecked take on a classic 1950s clam dip, the cream cheese-based mixture is spooned into a gratin dish, sprinkled with Parmesan and baked until the topping melts and the dip turns molten and savory. Canned clams are traditional here, providing a gentle saline note and nubby texture without an assertive flavor. If you're starting with cream cheese straight from the fridge, soften it briefly in the microwave before adding it to the bowl; cold cream cheese is a lot harder to mix.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, using a fork or rubber spatula, stir and mash together the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
- Add clams, mozzarella, parsley, scallions, jalapeño, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, fish sauce or a teaspoon of reserved clam juice, and lots of black pepper, and stir until well combined. If the mixture seems thick, stir in a little more reserved clam juice.
- Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. If you think it needs salt, add it lightly, or try adding a little more fish sauce or more clam juice instead. Dip can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
- Transfer mixture to shallow 1-quart ceramic baking dish or gratin dish. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 30 to 35 minutes. Garnish with sliced scallions, and serve hot or warm with potato chips.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest clams possible. Fresh clams will have a briny smell and their shells will be tightly closed. Avoid clams that have a foul odor or whose shells are open.
- Soak the clams in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any grit or sand from the clams.
- Cook the clams over medium heat. High heat can toughen the clams.
- Do not overcook the clams. Overcooked clams will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender.
- Use a variety of cheeses in your dip. This will give the dip a rich and complex flavor. Some good choices include cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
- Add some herbs and spices to your dip. This will help to brighten the flavor of the dip. Some good choices include garlic, onion, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Serve the dip with a variety of dippers. Good choices include crackers, bread, and vegetables.
Conclusion:
Clam dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dip that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a tasty and crowd-pleasing appetizer, give clam dip a try!
