Smoked Salmon Platter
Description
The Smoked Salmon Platter includes soft boiled eggs cooked to a delicate firmness with slightly runny yolks, alongside smoked salmon arranged around a center of cream cheese. Accompaniments include cucumber slices, red onion, avocado, cherry tomatoes, capers, fresh dill, lemon slices, and sprinklings of everything seasoning and black pepper. These components provide a mix of creamy, tangy, savory, crisp, and fresh flavors in one platter.
Preparing the eggs by simmering gently ensures an ideal soft texture. The platter is designed for serving as a composed assortment where diners can combine ingredients on bagels or crackers. The lemon slices and fresh dill contribute brightness and herbaceous notes, complementing the salmon’s rich taste.
This arrangement is suited for brunch or casual gatherings, allowing customization with topping choices.

Let cool completely before peeling.
