Remember: This is Italian food.  You can be liberal with the
ingredients. 

Take baguette of herbed bread.  Slice into approx 1" thick pieces. 
Cover BOTH surfaces with butter (seasoned is best -- we use basil,
oregano, garlic and pepper).  Place slices on a baking pan. 

In a small saucepan, combine wine, oil/butter, garlic (and clams) and
simmer for five minutes.  Add basil (and parmesan or romano cheese) and
heat for about a minute and then remove from heat.  Let stand until
thick. 

Spoon pesto over the bread (don't waste any :) ) Put sliced tomatoes on
top and cover with slice of mozzarella. 

Place baking pan in the oven and broil until the cheese starts to brown.
