PITA TOASTS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Halve pitas horizontally to form 8 rounds and lightly brush rough sides with oil. Season pitas with salt and cut each round into 6 wedges.
- Arrange wedges in one layer on 2 baking sheets and bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Cool toasts. Toasts may be made 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh clams: Fresh clams have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned clams. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use canned clams, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy: Crispy bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the dip. Don't overcook the bacon, or it will become tough.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in the dip, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar cheese or a Monterey Jack cheese are both good choices.
- Don't overcook the dip: The dip should be cooked until it's just heated through. Overcooking the dip will make it tough and rubbery.
- Serve the dip with pita toasts or crackers: Pita toasts or crackers are the perfect way to serve clam dip. They're sturdy enough to hold the dip, but they're also light and airy, so they don't overpower the flavor of the dip.
Conclusion:
Chunky clam and bacon dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that's perfect for any party or gathering. It's made with fresh clams, crispy bacon, and a creamy cheese sauce. The dip is served with pita toasts or crackers, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy appetizer, give chunky clam and bacon dip a try!
