Chilean Machas a la Parmesana is a traditional seafood dish from Chile, prepared with fresh razor clams topped with Parmesan cheese, butter, and seasonings. The clams are baked until the cheese melts and develops a delicious golden layer. This popular Chilean appetiser is known for its rich, creamy texture and delicate seafood flavour. It is commonly served hot with lemon wedges and fresh herbs at coastal restaurants and family gatherings throughout Chile.
Clean the fresh razor clams thoroughly under running water to remove sand and dirt.
Carefully open the shells and arrange the clam meat inside one half of each shell.
Place the prepared clams on a baking tray.
Add a small amount of butter over each clam.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Add a little black pepper and lemon juice for extra flavour.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Bake the clams for approximately 5–8 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes lightly golden.
Remove carefully from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
