Oh and let’s say you’re not worried about eating Whole30, can you use bread crumbs instead of almond meal? I am sure you can, but the almond meal almost gives an illusion of cheese, so I recommend that you go with it. But obviously that’s up to you and your tastes. However, after a few goes, we decided that a medium sized mushroom is better because it’s a better mushroom to filling ratio. The first few times we made this, I used the biggest white mushrooms I could find. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before you eat them or you WILL burn the roof of your mouth. Bake them in the 425° oven for 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown on top. Using a spoon, stuff the mushroom caps with a heaping amount of the clam mixture.

Sometimes they come out more easily than other times. To do this, I start to cut around the stem and then sort of pry. Then remove the stems from the mushroom caps.

I wanted a way to replicate that flavor and make it Whole30. My mother sometimes makes an appetizer dip Clams Casino which is buttery and bacon-y and garlicky and clammy (in a good way) and it’s served on crackers or bread.
