Treat your ingredients with care...
- Bagels — For the best texture, choose fresh bagels from a reputable bakery. If you can't find bagels, you can use a similar bread like brioche or ciabatta.
- Cream cheese — Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy spreading. You can also experiment with flavored cream cheese varieties like chive or garlic for added taste.
- Smoked salmon — Opt for high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor. Look for slices that are firm and have a vibrant color.
Tips & Tricks
- To add a tangy twist, squeeze a little lemon juice over the smoked salmon before assembling the Bagel Toast.
- Customize your Bagel Toast by adding additional toppings such as capers, sliced tomatoes, or cucumber.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the smoked salmon with thinly sliced avocado or roasted vegetables.
- Experiment with different types of bagels, such as everything bagels or sesame bagels, to vary the flavor profile.
- If you prefer a warm Bagel Toast, you can lightly toast the cream cheese-topped bagels under the broiler for a minute or two before adding the smoked salmon.
Serving advice
Serve the Bagel Toast as a standalone breakfast or brunch dish. It pairs well with a side of fresh fruit or a mixed green salad.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Bagel Toast on a platter, garnishing it with sprigs of fresh dill and a lemon wedge for an elegant touch. Serve it open-faced to showcase the layers of cream cheese and smoked salmon.
