Directions

Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Add the cheese and toss lightly.

Add the eggs and blend well.

Chill one quarter of the dough.

Press the remaining dough into the bottom and sides of an ungreased 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1/2-inch jelly roll pan.

Spread half the dough with the peach preserves and the other half with the strawberry preserves.

Roll the chilled dough, on a lightly floured surface, to 1/4-inch thick.

Cut the dough into 1/2-inch strips and place the strips diagonally across the top of the preserves making a lattice of the strips.

Scrumptious. Used this recipe for chicken breast cut up as well. Awesome.No need to wait an hour, just keep going til it's at simmer,include the browned meat,and when fork tender add the flour mixture and yolk at the end and cook a few min. more to thicken and cook flour. Bellisimo !!
