Tower Of Bagel Sandwiches

At Eli Zabar’s E.A.T. in New York, the smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich is taken to the next level, literally. The bagel is sliced into four neat slivers that each receive a smear of cream cheese and a slice of salmon before being stacked on top of one another.

Four sandwiches

Preparation

1. Place one bagel at a time on a flat surface. Hold a slicing knife parallel to the cutting surface. Cut through the bagel to make four slices of more or less equal thickness.
2. Blend the cream cheese with the scallions.
3. For each sandwich, smear two ounces of cream cheese on a cut surface of four bagel slices. Repeat until all the slices are smeared. Top each smeared surface with an equal number of salmon slices. Reassemble the bagel slices, sandwich fashion.
