My family and I thought it was alright. Not as much as flavor as we would have liked. -
This recipe was just excellent! I had trouble finding sourdough bread around for some reason but I found a small baguette and halved the recipe to compensate. I made this as my Christmas morning breakfast and hubby and I just adore it! It is easy to make, tastes delicious, refrigerates and reheats very well! Thanks for a great recipe!
