Meet the Cook: I always try to have a supply of these on hand in the freezer. If guests drop in, I just pull out and reheat some. You can serve them as a snack, for brunch or along with a lighter lunch. My husband and I have three married daughters, four grandsons and another grandchild on the way. -Linda Thompson, Southampton, Ontario

Love this app! Easy to make. My husband can't get enough of these! I want to freeze them to have for later, but they get eaten too quickly!

These were so good! Can't wait to make again. I even made them a little bit ahead of time and layered them between sheets of waxed paper.

My gods these were absolutely DELICIOUS!!! My family fell in love with them and were attacking me in the kitchen before I could get the 2nd batch onto the serving plate.

A big hit with everyone. Easy to make. I do cook them a little longer, probably because I use more topping on each slice of bread.

I made these before, the recipe I used named them Mary Vickers. Always a hit.
