Smoked Salmon Bagel Board with All the Best Toppings and Spreads

Ingredients

• 6 everything bagels, sliced and toasted
• 12 oz cold-smoked salmon

Spreads

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 4 oz whipped cream cheese

Toppings

• 3 tablespoons capers, drained
• 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 Persian cucumbers, sliced into rounds
• 4 radishes, thinly sliced
• 4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
• 2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh dill fronds
• 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
• 2 lemons, cut into wedges
• Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Equipment Needed

• Large wooden board or serving platter (at least 18 inches)
• Small bowls for spreads and capers
• Small spoons for serving

Instructions

1. Toast and arrange bagels: Toast bagel halves until golden brown and let cool completely. Arrange them on one side of your serving board, overlapping slightly if needed.
2. Add cream cheese spreads: Place cream cheese and whipped cream cheese in separate small bowls with serving spoons. Position these near the bagels on your board.
3. Arrange smoked salmon: Arrange smoked salmon in loose folds on the board, creating 2-3 separate piles. This makes it easier for guests to serve themselves without disturbing the whole arrangement.
4. Add vegetable toppings: Fill remaining space with toppings in small clusters: cucumber rounds, radish slices, tomato slices, and egg slices. Place capers in a small bowl with a tiny spoon.
5. Finish with herbs: Scatter fresh dill and chives over the entire board. Add lemon wedges around the edges and place a small dish of flaky salt nearby. Serve immediately while bagels are still slightly warm.
