This is one of the many seafood dishes I make for Christmas Eve. It is my mom's recipe which, like all of her wonderful recipes, has been passed on to me. Preparing these is a family affair.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- 2. Place clams (in their half shell) in jelly roll pans or any type of roasting pans - just make sure the pan has a lip so juices don't run off.
- 3. In a medium sauce pan melt the butter and then add the equivalent amount of the olive oil - about 1/4 cup.
- 4. Add the garlic, parsley, pepper, juice from the lemons and yellow pepper to the butter/oil. Cook until the pepper becomes slightly soft.
- 5. Meanwhile - place the bacon on a paper towel covered plate, cover with another paper towel and microwave. The bacon should be cooked but still soft - not crunchy. You'll have to do this in a few batches.
- 6. Top each clam with 1/2 tsp. of the sauce and then top with one piece of bacon.
- 7. Cook for approximately 8 minutes. Serve immediately. They will be gone in no time! ;-)

songsong4@gmail.comThese clams were absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. The bacon added a nice smoky flavor and the breadcrumbs gave them a crispy crunch. I will definitely be making these again.
