DELICIOUS! I used regular white wheat bread & Brummel & Brown spread that has yogurt in it to save on fat & calories. We added sliced deli ham at the request of my boyfriend & cut out the preserves. The cream cheese got all gooey & sealed all the wonderful flavors together. A keeper!

This was a great tasting grilled sandwiche. I used strawberry preserve(all I had on hand) and left out the butter and spread mayo on the outside of the bread to brown it instead. I cant wait to try this again with more exciting preserves. thanks for posting!

This was a delicious sandwich! I always look for new sandwich ideas and this one is definitely a keeper. I added bacon like other people suggested. I also didn't have cream cheese so I used light mayo.

Wow! I have a new favourite grilled sandwich. This was so good, you can taste all the different ingredients separately and they blend beautifully together. I used farmers white bread, mayonnaise, and apricot preserves with my cheese and avocado....again I say wow...this is soooo goooood! Thanks for sharing Sharon.
