My Stuffed Clams

2 cups finely minced clams

1/2 cup minced onion

1/3 cup minced green pepper

1/3 cup minced celery

1-1 1/3 cup dry French bread crumbs

1 cup heavy cream

2 beaten eggs

2 tsp melted butter

2 tsp dry mustard

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

Combine all the ingredients and stir well. Scoop back into clam shells.

Bake 20 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Remove and sprinkle heavily with

grated Parmesan cheese. Place 1/2 strip bacon on top of each shell and

heat until bacon is crisp. Makes 8-10 servings. Can be baked in dishes

other than clam shells, but they are much better in the shells.
