Final Comments


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.
