Ingredients
  

For the Bagel:
  • 2 bagels bagels halved
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 small cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1/4 small red onion sliced
  • 4 ounces smoked salmon
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 1 sprig fresh dill chopped

Method
 

Directions:
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Halve the bagels and set them aside. Thinly slice the cucumber and red onion, and chop the fresh dill.
  2. Toast the bagels to your desired level of crispiness. A light golden-brown finish is perfect for creating a crunchy base for your toppings.
  3. Once the bagels are toasted, spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese on each half. Make sure to cover the entire surface for the best flavor.
  4. Begin layering your toppings on the cream cheese. Start with the thin cucumber slices, followed by the smoked salmon, and then add the red onion slices.
  5. Finish off your smoked salmon bagels by sprinkling capers and fresh dill on top. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.

Notes

  • Use seasonal vegetables like radishes or avocados for a fresh twist.
  • Experiment with flavored cream cheeses, such as garlic herb or lemon dill.
  • Try different types of bagels like everything bagels or whole grain for added variety.
