Smoked Salmon and Dill Egg Salad Tea Sandwiches
- 6 eggs
- 2 ounces smoked salmon, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons chopped dill
- 2 teaspoons nonpareil capers
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 14 slices sturdy white sandwich bread
- 1/4 cup chopped chives, for garnish
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
- Place over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Boil the eggs for exactly 4 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let sit 10 more minute before draining.
- Run under cold water and peel the eggs immediately - the shell will come off much more easily while the eggs are still wet and warm.
- Using a box grater, grate the eggs on the shredder side into a bowl.
- Add the salmon, dill, capers, 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise, salt and pepper.
- Mix well.
- Lay out 7 slices of the bread and spread 1/4 cup of the egg salad onto each slice.
- Cover with the remaining bread slices.
- Trim the crust off of all the sandwiches and cut each sandwich crosswise into four triangles.
- Spread the long side of each triangle with a little mayonnaise and dip each one into the chopped chives.
- Arrange decoratively on a platter.
