PARTY HAM & EGG SALAD SANDWICHES
A fun twist on ham and eggs! I loved both these spreads. The egg salad is creamy and the ham salad has a touch of crunchiness thanks to the celery. The presentation is lovely too thanks to the two different breads. These would be great served at a luncheon or as an appetizer at a holiday party.

Steps:
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil the eggs for exactly 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit 10 more minute before draining. Run under cold water and peel the eggs immediately - the shell will come off much more easily while the eggs are still wet and warm.
- Using a box grater, grate the eggs on the shredder side into a bowl. Add the salmon, dill, capers, 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Lay out 7 slices of the bread and spread 1/4 cup of the egg salad onto each slice. Cover with the remaining bread slices. Trim the crust off of all the sandwiches and cut each sandwich crosswise into four triangles.
- Spread the long side of each triangle with a little mayonnaise and dip each one into the chopped chives. Arrange decoratively on a platter.

EGG SALAD SANDWICHES WITH GREEN OLIVE, CELERY AND PARSLEY
This zesty egg salad has no mayonnaise (but a dab of homemade mayonnaise would be permissible). Use picholine or other tasty green olives (not the bland canned supermarket type) or substitute Italian-style marinated artichoke hearts. You could add a little chopped anchovy and a few capers, too, if so inclined. Served open-face as appetizers, these sandwiches are very pretty, but there's no reason not to use the filling for a conventional sandwich.

- Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the egg salad on bread, crackers, or lettuce leaves. You can also use it as a filling for sandwiches, wraps, or deviled eggs.
