1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 cup Italian style breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon finely grated Romano cheese

5 Add Italian bread crumbs, egg, clam juice, mixing well.
6 Add Parmesan, Romano, and Mozzarella cheeses to the clam stuffing and mix well.
