Prep time: About 1 1/4 hours

To make the Cranberry Walnut Cream Cheese: Combine cranberries, walnuts, cream cheese, sour cream, and chives. And salt and pepper to taste and set aside in the refrigerator.

To make the Avocado Cucumber Ricotta: Zest lemon. Juice lemon to yield 1 tablespoon juice. Combine zest, juice, avocado, cucumber, Jack cheese, ricotta cheese, and dill. And salt and pepper to taste and set aside in the refrigerator.

To make the Cheesy Chicken Salad: Combine chicken, sour cream, cheese, celery, onion, parsley, and curry powder. And salt and pepper to taste and set aside in the refrigerator.

To assemble and serve the Smörgåstårta: Cut bread into a brick shape, removing crust from all 6 sides. Slice “brick” horizontally into 4 layers. Spread top of each layer with a scant layer of butter.

Arrange 1 layer of bread on a serving plate or platter. Top with Cranberry Walnut Cream Cheese, spreading it evenly. Top a second layer of bread with Avocado Cucumber Ricotta, spreading it evenly, and arrange on first layer. Top a third layer of bread with Cheesy Chicken Salad, spreading it evenly, and arrange on top of second layer. Top last layer of bread with about 4 ounces of cream cheese, spreading it evenly and decoratively, and arrange on top of third layer.

Spread remaining cream cheese thinly over all 4 sides of smörgåstårta. Garnish sides with cucumber, trimming slices as needed, and garnish top with herb sprigs, cranberries, and edible flowers.

Chill briefly before slicing and serving.

Per order/serving size:

Serves 6 to 8

Note: If not serving soon after assembly, assemble the smörgåstårta layers but wait to finish the sides and top. Hold in the refrigerator, then soon before serving, add cream cheese and cucumber slices to the sides and garnish the top.
