Season the mixture, to taste, with salt and pepper. Stir the reserved pancetta and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese into the vegetable mixture. Remove the skillet from the heat and cool completely. Add the wine and simmer until it is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the bell pepper, shallots, garlic, and oregano to the same skillet and saute until the shallots are tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a plate. Add the pancetta and saute until crisp and golden, about 3 minutes.

Minced clams-versus chopped clams-disperse the clammy flavor more evenly through the cream cheese. This past Christmas vacation at my parent’s house, I finally discovered my dad’s secret to keeping the dip thick and creamy, but still getting that full-on clammy flavor without adding a lot of clam juice to bring it on. If you don’t have time, pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds to soften before mixing. It’s best to make this dip with room temperature cream cheese. My family’s recipe is more purist-leaving out our addition of green onions-so as usual, we’ve made the recipe our own. Obviously I got smarter as a I got older. I loved it even as a kid when I picked out the clams and ate only the cream cheese. This is a classic dip my dad has made forever-and is still the #1 request whenever we’re toghter. How do I know? Because it’s been a family fave FOREVER and it’s about to become your stand-by recipe to take to, just like it’s mine.

It’s the number one appetizer recipe I take to any family or friend get-together/party/excuse-to-eat-chips-and-dip above all others. Even people who think they don’t like clams LOVE THIS DIP. I also know we all like clams because this amazingly simple clam dip recipe has been a standard in my family literally for years. But I mean, why wouldn’t it be? IT’S DIVINE! I know it, because my steamed clam recipe is one of the most popular recipes on the blog.

It’s like we don’t want to admit we like clams. But guess what. This irresistible and super easy clam dip with cream cheese is a beloved family recipe and the perfect party appetizer, guaranteed to knock your socks off!
