Egg Salad on Toast Points

Source of Recipe

From "The Southern Living Party Cookbook"


Recipe Introduction

"Egg salad is often overlooked, and I'm on a mission to bring it back. The deviled egg has become the darling of the party circuit, but its cousin egg salad is really where it's at. It's just as versatile, a bit more elegant, and the perfect complement for a toast point."

◦  4 large hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
◦  1 celery stalk, diced
◦  4 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
◦  ¼ cup chopped fresh chives
◦  1 Tbsp minced sweet onion
◦  ¼ tsp seasoned salt
◦  ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
◦  12 very thin white or wheat sandwich bread slices, lightly toasted
◦  1 cup firmly packed fresh spinach (optional)
◦  Whole fresh chives 


Recipe

Stir together â…“ cup of the mayonnaise, eggs, celery, bacon, chopped chives, onion, salt, and pepper. Spread the remaining â…“ cup mayonnaise evenly over one side of each bread slice.
