I enjoyed a special breakfast for one by making this recipe and serving it with recipe#211513. This recipe was an intersting use of contest ingredients. I used recipe#66077 and pineapple perserves instead of orange marmalade because that's what I had on hand. I did not think the middle piece of bread should have been brushed with moisture because I found it too soggy. Good Luck!
