Ingredients
- 8 Lox slices
- 2 Lebanese cucumbers
- 1 large tomato
- ½ purple onion
- ¼ cup capers
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 4 bagels or gluten free bagels
- ½ lemon sliced
- 1 Whole Boursin
Instructions
- Choose the right serving dish for your spread. I recommend a big platter or a large wooden or marble cutting board.
- Fan the salmon slices so that they're slightly overlapping on top of each other.
- Fill a ramekin with 1 cup of cream cheese.
- Lay out the boursin cheese straight on the board, or inside a ramekin.
- Arrange the cucumber slices, tomato slices, onion slices and lemon slices in different clumps around the board.
- Add capers in a small bowl.
- To toast the bagels, set the oven to the broil function, and lay out the bagels facing down. Slide the baking sheet into the oven on the lowest rack - this is important to prevent the bagels from burning! Toast bagels into the oven upside down for about 4 minutes, constantly checking them to prevent them from catching fire.
- Add the bagels to the board, right side up, and serve the lox and bagel board.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Always offer plain cream cheese, but you can supplement with additional cream cheese flavors if making for a crowd.
- The best bagels are sesame bagels. You can offer other types of bagels if increasing quantities.
- You can whip your cream cheese for a more elegant, light and airy spread.
- Substitute the sliced smoked salmon for a few scoops of tuna salad and add olives for a Middle Eastern bagel board. Add an Israeli salad to the spread.
- Switch the salmon for a few different cheeses if making this into a vegetarian bagel spread.
- You can also add the following additions:
- avocado slices
- honey
- bacon
- olives
- fresh herbs like dill and parsley
