Kanapki z jajkami (canapes with eggs)

20 Appetizers

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 tablespoons Butter/margarine; room temp
20 slices Bread, french
¼ cup Chives; chopped
Salt; to taste
4 eaches Eggs; hard-cooked
Majonez (Mayonnaise) recipe
Paprika, sweet

Directions

Spread butter/margarine on 1 side of each thin bread slice. Sprinkle with chives. Season with salt to taste. Cut ¼ inch of both ends of each egg.

Carefully slice each egg crosswise into 5 equal slices. Place 1 egg slice on each buttered bread slice. Spoon mayonnaise into a pastry bag fited with a medium fluted nozzle. Pipe mayonnaise onto egg slices.

Garnish with paprika. Arrange on a platter.

Variation - Place bite-sized pieces of sliced, peeled cucumber, smoked ham or sausage on mayonnaise flowers.

DISCLAIMER - The reference mayonnaise recipe uses raw egg yolks. Given that salmonella is virtually endemic in North American egg and fryer production, it is HIGHLY recommended you use a commercially prepared mayonnaise of good quality as the egg ingredients have been properly pasteurized prior to use.
