Instructions

In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, clams, Swiss cheese, green onions, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix everything together until well incorporated.
Spread the mixture evenly over each slice of baguette.
Sprinkle a dash of paprika on top of each bread round for extra flavor and color.
Place the prepared baguette slices under the broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and serve warm.

Notes

Cheese Swap: Instead of Swiss cheese, you can use mozzarella, cheddar, or even Parmesan for a different twist.

Add Herbs: Fresh parsley or thyme would make a great addition for a fresh herb flavor.

Spicy Version: Add a few dashes of hot sauce or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick to your clam bruschetta.

Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free baguette slices to make this dish suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
