Egg Olive Salad Sandwiches

Submitted by gypsysoul

"My mom used to put a booth in a local church's fall craft bazaar. The church ladies made these sandwiches every year. They are simply amazing. I went back to the bazaar this past fall for the first time in years... They were still making the same sandwiches, but I didn't get one -- they were sold out!! The recipe comes from the church's cookbook. The book suggests only Sunbeam white bread, but since when do I follow rules?! Pita bread, whole grain bread, wheat bread, or just a a bed of lettuce... It's all good. :)"
