*A pullman loaf is a whole, unsliced rectangular loaf. Slice horizontally
to obtain long, rectangular slices.

Place 2 pullman slices white bread and 1 slice dark bread on a cutting
board. Lightly butter the breads.

Generously spread the ham mixture on one pullman slice. Cover with the dark
bread, buttered side down, sandwich-style.

Butter the dark bread slice and spread it with a layer of egg salad. Cover
with the white bread. You now have alternating layers of breads and
spreads. Do not trim the crusts. Wrap the entire pullman sandwich in foil
and place in the freezer for 1 hour to set filling. Repeat with remaining
bread.

Remove from freezer, trim the crusts from the bread and cut into finger,
triangular or rectangular shapes. Arrange on a platter and refrigerate
until serving time.
