Your recipe reminded me of a breakfast sandwich I was hooked on for a while. I am looking forward of trying out your recipe.

Thank you for reminding me of my sandwich :)

What a sandwich! Looks lovely~can't wait to try it, though I've got red pepper jelly. With that list of ingredients, you can't go wrong!
