Instructions: This is also a meal that can be put together - almost "on the fly"

after a quick stop at the deli. To begin, allow the butter to soften, and cream it with the cream cheese, grated onion, pressed garlic, and shredded cheese.

With a sharp knife, cut the top and bottom crusts off the bread, then slice through horizontally to produce 4 or 6 sandwich rounds. Divide the butter-cheese mixture evenly between the bread slices, spreading the top of each all the way to the edge.

Now have a little fun: Arrange the sandwich meats, cheese, and sliced egg in wedges or concentric circles (pizza-style) over the bread slices. Mound a bit of pickle relish in the center. Cut into wedges, reassemble each on a plate, and cover closely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until time to serve. Make radish roses and cut tomatoes into wedges; offer radishes, tomatoes, peppers, and olives to accompany the Really Big Party Sandwich.
