Wonderful! I broiled the bacon while cooking the sausage. Used colby jack since I had it in the house and ommited the dates so I could get my boys to eat this. My marmelade and oil mixture was not very spreadable so I decided to precook the crust for 5 minutes, spread on the marmelade and other toppings and put it back in the oven for another 10. Delish!
