Prepare the Clams
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the clams under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.

In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add 4 tablespoons of butter and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté over low heat until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the crumbled bacon, bread crumbs, and parmesan cheese. Mix well and season with black pepper and salt to taste.
