"The coast of Maine's rich in clams, one of the best areas being the Pennamaquan River and the Cobscook Bay. Folks here can tell by looking at a clam from which bay it was dug and during which recent tide!" --Lincoln House Country Inn, Dennysville, Maine

Yield: Serves 6

• 1 pound Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 1 pound clams, shucked and chopped
• 2 tablespoons parsley
• 2 tablespoons chives
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
• Dash ground cayenne pepper
• Dash freshly ground black pepper
• 6 slices pumpernickel bread

Combine cheese, clams, parsley, chives, garlic, and peppers and mix until well blended. For each serving, place bread slice in 6-ounce au gratin dish. Divide clam mixture among dishes. Broil until golden brown and bubbly or bake at 425 degrees F for 10 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Serve immediately.
