Ingredients

12 Bacon slices
8 Large hard-boiled eggs, peeled, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup Finely chopped celery
1/4 cup Chopped pimiento-stuffed green olives
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 slices White sandwich bread, toasted
12 Red leaf lettuce leaves

Preparation

Sauté bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Cut bacon slices crosswise in half.

Combine chopped eggs, celery, and olives in bowl. Mix in 1/4 cup mayonnaise and mustard. Season with salt and pepper.

Place toast slices on work surface; spread lightly with remaining mayonnaise. Divide egg salad among 6 toast slices. Place 4 bacon pieces, then 2 lettuce leaves atop egg salad on each. Cover with remaining toast slices, mayonnaise side down. Cut sandwiches diagonally in half.
