Recipe
1. Hard boil 4 eggs.
2. Fry 2 slices of bacon until crisp.
3. Refrigerate eggs and bacon until cool.
4. Finely chop 4 tablespoons of well drained pitted olives.
5. Peel cooled eggs and finely chop.
6. Place chopped eggs in a small bowl, crumble the crisp bacon, and add the chopped olives.
7. Then combine with the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper.
8. Chill for at least 20 minutes before making sandwiches.
9. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on each slice of bread to prevent the sandwiches from becoming soggy.
10. Take one half of the slices and spread egg salad filling to edges of bread . Cover each with the remaining slices to make closed sandwiches.
11. Trim the crust off each; then cut sandwiches into squares.
12. To serve, place sandwich squares on a tray garnished with parsley sprigs and fruit.
Make one tea sandwich square per guest; there are 4 squares per whole sandwich.
NOTE:To keep sandwiches fresh for up to six hours on the tray, place a dampened paper towel (wrung out very well) over sandwiches, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Egg hint: Immerse hot hard-cooked- eggs in cold water until cool, them remove shells. Use immediately or refrigerate in a plastic bag or covered dish.
