Towers of Bagel Toasts, Smoked Salmon, and Herbs

• 4 bagels
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 pound thinly sliced smoked salmon
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh herb leaves, preferably dill, parsley, and basil

1. Carefully cut each bagel horizontally into 4 even slices; each round will be 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
2. Toast until golden and crisp.
3. You then reassemble each bagel: Spread cream cheese on the 2 bottom halves (the rounded bottom and the upper-middle slice) of each bagel.
4. Top each cream cheese slice with 2 slices of smoked salmon and 2 tablespoons herbs.
5. Top with the other bagel slice and reassemble each bagel.
6. Cut in half or quarters if you like.
