"Mmmmm...decadent..." was all I could get out of my husband between bites. I cut the ingredients in half for the 2 of us and had enough cream cheese mixture to spread all 4 pieces of bread, but had to flip the sandwich *very* carefully in the pan. To skinny this up, I used ff cream cheese and low-cal bread, but it was still very rich and delicious! We topped with a light squirt of maple syrup and powdered sugar. Thanks for posting this one, 'swimmin!
