04 - Place a toasted bread piece on the cracker. Layer with guacamole, followed by cucumber and tomato slices.
05 - Alternate between crackers, bread, spreads, and toppings such as avocado, radish, roasted red peppers, and microgreens to build color and flavor contrast.
06 - Build up three to four layers, pressing gently for stability. Finish with a cracker or bread slice topped with cream cheese, microgreens, pumpkin seeds, chives, and black pepper.
07 - Carefully transfer the assembled tower(s) to serving plates using a wide spatula. Serve immediately to preserve texture.
