2 cans minced clams (don't discard the juice)
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 sm. onion, chopped
1 tbsp. oregano
3/4-1 c. Italian bread crumbs
4 oz. Gruyere, grated
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. parsley flakes
1 stick butter
A few drops Tabasco
Paprika

Simmer clams with their juice and lemon juice for 15 minutes. Saute the onion, garlic, parsley flakes and oregano in the butter. Cook until soft, but not brown.

Combine everything except the cheese. Add enough bread crumbs so it's not watery. Mix together well.

Pour into an ungreased deep dish pie plate. Top with grated Gruyere, and sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve with sesame crackers.
