Add third slice of bread and spread with Egg and Olive filling.
Top with fourth slice and spread with Ham and Pimento Filling.
Place 5th slice of bread buttered side down on Ham filling.
Gently shape the loaf so the edges are even, removing any excess fillings.

Chill at least 3 hours before serving.
