Things You'll Need:
- 1 pack of “everything” bagels (either from the bakery or packaged)
- 1 small tub of cream cheese (regular, whipped or light)
- 1 jar of capers
- 1 large ripe tomato, sliced
- 1 packet of smoked salmon (try Scottish)
- 1 peeled and diced red onion
- Salt and pepper
- Spreading knives
- Toaster or oven
-
Step 1
Halve bagels and place face up in toaster oven or oven (broil setting). Toast either one half or two halves per person. Toast until light brown to medium brown.
-
Step 2
Remove from oven and place halves on a platter to cool for a few moments.
-
Step 3
Use spreading knife to apply about 1 to 1 1/2 tbs. cream cheese to each half. Apply evenly.
-
Step 4
Distribute a smattering of capers and onions to each half. Lightly press the condiments into the cream cheese to secure them.
-
Step 5
Place either a thin slice of tomato or diced tomato pieces onto the halves. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top of the tomato.

Step 6
Lay strips of smoked salmon onto each bagel half so that they are entirely layered over with lox. Distribute the salmon depending on how many bagel halves you have to cover.
-
