scrub and open clams, i like to loosen the clam from the half of the shell i will be cooking it on. place on cookie sheet. pre-heat oven to 425.
melt butter in small pan and saute onions until soft. combine remaining ingredients except tomato and bacon. put a small amount of crumb mixture on each clam. slice tomato and place a slice on each clam. cut bacon in pieces to fit over each clam and place on each clam. you should stretch the bacon slices out a little before cutting, this will help it crisp up better. bake in oven until bacon is crisp, about 20-25 minutes.
