Turn on the flame and fill a pot with cold water to hard boil the eggs.

Wait for the water to boil and set a timer for 6 minutes once boiling.

While waiting for the eggs, cut the dill pickles at an angle to create longer pieces.

Slice the purple and green bell peppers into thin strips for presentation.

Cut the French loaf, avoiding the ends for a nicer look, into about half-inch thick slices using a serrated knife.

Once the eggs are done boiling, drain the hot water and fill the pot with cold water to cool the eggs down.

Peel the cooled hard-boiled eggs, discarding the ends for a nicer presentation.

Slice the peeled eggs into pieces, being careful to keep the yolk intact for presentation.

Spread the Czech spread (ham and potato spread) onto the slices of French loaf.

Decorate the sandwiches by layering thinly sliced ham and folding it for a nice look.

Add slices of Swiss cheese, folding them similarly to the ham.

Place the sliced eggs on one side of the sandwich and a pickle on the other side.

Decorate with the sliced bell peppers and finish with shredded cheese on top.
