    While I did not have time to make the prosciutto 'bits' I did take regular thin sliced prosciutto, cut it into small pieces and quickly sauteed it with the bread crumb mixture before I stuffed the clams. It was still delicious. I would generally agree with the person who said prosciutto should not be cooked but if you watched the show he used a nice chunk of meat that had been ground by the butcher not the thin sliced pieces that are more readily available and it did look delicious. Great recipe! Kids and husband loved it.

    I made this without the white wine and added some chopped onion and butter to cook the clams. It was perfect!

    We all have had traditional baked clams and clams casino. This is a combo of both plus more! The proscuitto makes this a unique special incredibly tasty dish.

    Excellent recipe. We have had proscuitto
    seared and served over an Italian Salad but this was a first with the clams. What a great combination. We were fortunate to get very fresh clalms and we didn't sear the proscuitto until it was hard as it often is when we eat salad at our favorite Italian restaurant. I think there is a fine line between when the proscuitto is cooked and when its overcooked to a crunchy hard stage.
    Thanks for the recipe. Its a keeper

    Prosciutto just isn't meant to be cooked! I paid $16.99 for a pound of Parma Prosciutto and these clams were horrible - way too salty! If you want an incredible recipe try Giada's Clams Casino - that recipe is a home run! This one stunk!
