Ham And Egg Towers Recipe
Ingredients
| 6 hard-cooked eggs, shelled and chopped | ||
| Celery | 1/2 Cup (16 tbs), diced | |
| 1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing | ||
| Prepared mustard | 1/2 Teaspoon | |
| Salt | 1/2 Teaspoon | |
| Cooked ham | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Cream cheese package | 2 , softened | |
| 6 tablespoons light cream or table cream | ||
| 12 slices round white bread | ||
| Parsley | 1/2 Cup (16 tbs), chopped | |
Directions
1 Mix chopped eggs, celery, mayonnaise or salad dressing, mustard and salt in a medium-size bowl.
2 Blend ground ham, half of one package of the cream cheese, and 1 tablespoon of the cream until smooth in a small bowl. Place remaining cream cheese and cream in a medium-size bowl; set aside .
3 Spread egg-salad mixture on 6 slices of the bread and ham on 4 slices. Stack slices, alternating egg with ham, in 2 piles of 5 each; top with remaining bread slices.
4 Blend cream cheese and cream in bowl until smooth; spread over each sandwich stack to frost completely. Pat parsley on tops and sides to cover. Chill several hours.
5 When ready to serve, cut each stack into quarters with a very sharp knife. Garnish with dill-pickle wheels and serve with radish roses, if you wish. To make dill-pickle wheels, shave thin strips from medium-size dill pickles with a vegetable parer. Roll strips, then bunch 3 together; wrap another strip around all to hold them in place.
