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.
