Steps

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 5 minutes, then chop them finely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the steamed broccoli, mozzarella cheese, clams, cream cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Mix everything until well combined.
Scoop the mixture into small mounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of each mound.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for Keto Broccoli and Cheese Clam Bites

A well-drained mixture should hold its shape; excess moisture can make the bites spread or turn soft.
Look for browned Parmesan edges and set, bubbly centers; the bites will firm up a little as they cool.
Use a small cookie scoop for evenly sized bites, and leave space between them so their edges can brown.

Drink pairing

A dry sparkling wine
Its crisp acidity and bubbles balance the rich cheese and savory clams.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the bites may be softer after storage.
