How To Create an Epic Bagel Board At Home
Take your weekend brunch game up a few levels by hosting friends and family to an epic Bagel Board! I'm sharing my best tips and tricks from over the decades on which smoked fish to use, what toppings to serve alongside, and whether or not you should be toasting your bagels. (Spoiler: you should not.)

Equipment
Serrated knife
Large platter
Ingredients
- 1 dozen bagels, assorted (go heavy on everything bagels)
- ½ lb scallion cream cheese
- ½ lb plain cream cheese
- 2½-3 lbs of smoked fish, figure about ¼ lb/person, though some may want more or less; I like an assortment of lox, nova, sable, etc.
- 1 lb of smoked seafood salad, such as whitefish, salmon, or tuna (assorted is better!)
- ½ lb thinly sliced muenster cheese, or other cheese
- 2-3 ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 4 oz jar of capers, drained
- fresh dill or other greens, for serving
Instructions
- Cut the bagels. Slice bagels in half, then place on a platter or in a basket.
- Add spreads. Place cream cheese, seafood salads, and capers in small bowls, then arrange on a large cutting board or serving platter.
- Add smoked fish and toppings. Arrange the remaining ingredients, making sure to spread the ingredients around the board so everyone can reach, regardless of whether they're sitting! Let guests assemble bagel sandwiches as desired.
Notes
- Nutrition facts are based on one everything bagel with cream cheese, lox, white fish salad, tomato, and onion.
