FROSTED RIBBON LOAF 
1 unsliced loaf white bread (reg. size)
butter, softened
1 c. Ham Salad Filling
1 tomato thinly sliced
1 c. Egg Salad Filling
4 to 5 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1/3 c. milk

Trim crust off loaf and slice lengthwise in 4 layers. Butter layers (top). Spread first layer with ham salad. Arrange tomato slices and second layer. Cover with foil and chill at least 30 to 45 minutes. At serving time beat cream cheese with milk until fluffy. Frost top and sides of loaf. Sprinkle frosted loaf with parsley top and sides.
