To prepare Matlaw's Stuffed Clams, simply place them on a baking sheet. They can be heated in a conventional oven or a toaster oven until they are hot throughout and the topping is lightly browned. Avoid using a microwave, as this can affect the texture of the breadcrumb topping and the clams. Serve them immediately after heating for the best taste and texture. They are best enjoyed fresh from the oven.
