Yum! This will certainly be a repeat at my house, everyone loved it! Very versatile recipe. I didn't have orange marmalade so used homemade nectarine jam. For bread, I used 10 pieces of Orowheat potato bread, cut in half, which fit the dish exactly and made 10 perfect serving pieces. Was a generous amount of cream cheese mixture. Looking forward to trying orange marmalade, also blueberry, blackberry, and other jams in my pantry. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
