• Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas mark 5.
• Remove the crusts from the bread. Trim the bread into squares, and
flatten each slice with a rolling pin. Brush with melted butter, then
arrange in bun or muffin trays. Press a piece of foil into each slice to
secure in place. Bake for 10 minutes or until crisp and golden.
• Mix together the feta cheese, tomatoes and olives. Shell the eggs and
quarter them. Mix together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard and sugar.
Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the bread cases from the oven, discard the foil and leave to cool.
• Just before serving, fill the bread cases with the cheese and tomato mixture.
Arrange the quartered eggs on the top, and spoon over the dressing.
Serve immediately.
