- 2 large eggs, beaten to blend
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard

Drizzle remaining glaze over loaf and bake until thermometer inserted into center of loaf registers 165°F, about 20 minutes longer. Transfer loaf to platter; let stand 10 minutes. Pour pan juices into small bowl; whisk to blend.
