Ingredients

Scale

Bagel Board Suggested Ingredients

  • 10-12 bagels (assorted varieties - see above for options)

Savory Ideas:

  • Spreads: Plain and flavored cream cheeses (chive, vegetable, lox), butter, and hummus.
  • Proteins: Smoked salmon, crispy bacon, boiled eggs, deli turkey, sliced cheese, and cottage cheese.
  • Veggies: Sliced cucumber, tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, avocados, guacamole, fresh arugula or spinach, radishes, and capers.
  • Fresh Herbs: Dill, chives, parsley, cilantro, etc.

Sweet Ideas:

  • Spreads: Strawberry or another fruit-flavored cream cheese, Nutella, honey, peanut butter, almond butter, or fruit preserves.
  • Fresh Fruits: Sliced strawberries, bananas, blueberries, oranges, blackberries, kiwi, grapes, etc.
  • Extras: Granola, dried fruits (dates, figs, cranberries, apricots), chocolate cocoa almonds, or cinnamon sugar.

Instructions

  1. Grab a large wooden charcuterie board, marble slab, or even a parchment-lined baking tray to create your bagel board (options below). Toasting the bagels is optional, but I’m sure some people would love the option! You can set up a toaster station nearby so guests can toast their bagels to their liking.
    Homemade everything and sesame seed bagels on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  2. To assemble the bagel board: Slice the bagels into halves and/or quarters and arrange them in one section of the board. You can also serve more on the side. Place small bowls with spreads and smaller toppings (like capers and nuts) evenly across the board. Arrange veggies, fruits, and proteins in clusters. I do one half of the board sweet, and the other savory. Lastly, add garnishes like fresh dill, parsley, or edible flowers! Be sure to have lots of forks and knives available for spreading and cutting the bagels.
