1 6 oz. can clams, well drained
1 to 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

In same skillet, melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
Whisk in flour until smooth and bubbly.

Whisk in half−and−half and continue whisking until mixture comes to a boil.
Boil 1 min, whisking, until bubbly.
Turn off the heat. Add Asiago cheese, stirring until melted.
Stir in the scallops, shrimp, and clams.
Spoon into a 9" glass pie plate.
Sprinkle with the Parmesan.
Bake in a preheated 350 deg. oven for about 15 min., until the top is golden brown.
Meanwhile, heat plenty of oil in a deep fryer to 375
deg. Fry 3−4 won ton skins at a time, a few seconds on each side, until just golden.
Drain on paper towels.
Use won tons as chips for dipping into baked seafood appetizer.
Note: If you don't feel inclined to fry the wanton skins to make chips, the seafood appetizer is also delicious with tortilla or pita chips or crackers.
