Steps:
- For the onion cream cheese: Stir together the cream cheese, chives, green onions and garlic powder in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the egg and bacon salad: Stir together the mayonnaise, parsley, shallots, mustard, paprika, eggs and bacon in a medium bowl. Add more mayonnaise if you prefer a creamier egg salad. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the sandwiches: Place 4 of the bread slices on a cutting board and spread each with about 3 tablespoons of the onion cream cheese in an even layer on one side. Top with a single layer of smoked salmon, squeeze some lemon juice over the salmon and then cover with a second slice of bread to form 4 sandwiches. Cut the crusts off. Slice each sandwich in half crosswise and then cut each half diagonally to create 4 triangle-shaped finger sandwiches. Place a cucumber round on top of each sandwich and arrange on a platter.

This was served at all wedding receptions, bridal showers, baby showers etc. at my mother's house. It is a great sandwich with cream cheese as its base and lots of grated vegetables. No one was allowed to get married without these at the wedding. From the big plastic bag of my mother's recipes.

SOUTHERN TEA SANDWICH
I LOVE tea sandwiches. So lady-like, and perfect for an afternoon event, baby or wedding shower, even a cocktail party. These are traditionally served at the Kentucky Derby, originating from Miss Jennie C. Benedict, a local cateress, who first served them in 1893. They are meant to accompany other dishes, so the 4 to 8 servings will vary depending on what else is on the menu.

Steps:
- Place cream cheese and herbs in a bowl; stir with a rubber spatula until combined.
- Spread cream cheese mixture on 4 slices of bread; layer with cucumber and radish slices. Spread remaining slices of bread with butter. Place, butter side facing down, on radishes. Trim crusts; cut sandwiches in half.
Tips:
- Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best flavor. Cucumbers, tomatoes, and radishes are all great options.
- If you don't have any tea on hand, you can use vegetable broth or water instead.
- Be sure to drain the vegetables well after boiling them. This will help to prevent the sandwiches from getting soggy.
- If you're making the sandwiches ahead of time, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
