Club Sandwiches-aussie Style

These are really popular finger food in Australia. Maybe you call them ribbon sandwiches, but most often they are know as club sandwiches here.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Yields: 24 club sandwiches

Ingredients

• 1  loaf  bread, sliced lengthways
• 1 (500 g) jar cream cheese spread
• 5  eggs, hard cooked,mashed,seasoned
• 2 -3  tomatoes, sliced thinly
• 200  g ham, shaved thinly
•  salt and pepper

Directions

1. If you have your bread sliced at the thickness for sandwiches, you should have 8 long slices.
2. Soften the cream cheese in the microwave if necessary so you don't tear the bread.
3. Lay your bread slices out, and spread with the cream cheese-just as you would with butter for a normal sandwich.
4. On the first slice, top with the ham, then a bread slice, top with tomato, and a bread slice, top with the mashed egg, then a final bread slice.
5. Season each layer with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Repeat with the remaining 4 slices of bread and filling.
7. I like to place 12 cocktail sticks in the sandwich stacks so I can see where I will be cutting, then I take my electric knife, remove the crusts, and finally cut each stack into 12.
8. *Theseare only suggested filling that are popular and cut easily.
