There’s something magic about the combination of smoked salmon and cream cheese snug between a freshly baked bagel that screams comfort and luxury all in one bite. Perfect for brunches, a quick lunch, or even a classy appetizer, this recipe has won my heart over and over.
- 2 bagels, halved and toasted
- 4 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 4 ounces of smoked salmon
- 1 tablespoon of capers
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- A few sprigs of fresh dill
- Freshly ground black pepper
Start by gathering all your ingredients. Thinly slice the red onion and set aside. Make sure your cream cheese is softened for easier spreading.
Halve the bagels and toast them to your liking. Lightly toasted bagels provide a crispy texture that pairs beautifully with the creamy and soft fillings.
Spread a generous amount of cream cheese on each half of the toasted bagels. The cream cheese acts as a creamy base for the layers to come.
Layer the smoked salmon over the cream cheese. Then, add the sliced red onions, capers, and fresh dill. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper to taste.
