Yield Makes 16 triangular three-layer tea sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat (about 2 cups)
1 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
1/4 cup thinly sliced celery

8 tablespoons softened butter
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
4 hard-boiled eggs, thinly sliced
2-3 heads of crisp baby lettuce
