- For the onion cream cheese: Stir together the cream cheese, chives, green onions and garlic powder in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the egg and bacon salad: Stir together the mayonnaise, parsley, shallots, mustard, paprika, eggs and bacon in a medium bowl. Add more mayonnaise if you prefer a creamier egg salad. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- To cook the bacon using the "Mauro Method," line a baking sheet with parchment, overlapping each side 1 to 2 inches. Put the bacon on the parchment and bake until crisp and brown, about 20 minutes. This way, the fat will fry the bacon to a perfect crisp but not come in contact with the metal pan, creating a mess. Drain the bacon on paper towels and let cool. (Once the fat is cooled, use or just toss it. No mess!)
- Crumble the bacon into a bowl. Gently mix in the eggs, mayonnaise, chives, mustard and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Eat alone, or build sandwiches with avocados and tomatoes on toasted croissants.

Steps:
- Boil, peel, and chop eggs.Put eggs and water into a saucepan or pot. Water should be an inch above the eggs. On high heat, bring water to a full boil then turn off the heat. With the pot covered, let it sit for 12 minutes. Peel eggs under cold running water. Give the hard boiled eggs a good chop. Not too fine that they'll turn into mush when you mix it with mayo and not too rough that they'll look too messy.
- Combine chopped eggs, mustard, mayo, and salt in a bowl.You can prepare this a day or two ahead and store in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
- Cut bread into circles using a cookie cutter.Use a round cookie cutter that'll cut two circles out of one slice of bread. Avoid cutting the crust.
- Assemble the tea sandwiches.From the bottom up: bread, egg salad, bread, and a sprig of parsley skewered on with a cocktail fork.
