Ingredients (for 4)

Preparation

  1. Step 1 - 🍳💧🔄
    Bring water to a simmer in a pan. Add a splash of vinegar and create a whirlpool with a spoon. Gently drop one egg at a time into the whirlpool and poach for 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. Step 2 - 🍞🔥🥯
    While your eggs are poaching, toast your multigrain and everything bagels until they are golden brown.
  3. Step 3 - 🥯🥑🍅
    Fan the bagel slices across part of your serving board. Arrange clusters of smoked salmon, cream cheese, sliced tomatoes, onion rings, capers, chopped fresh dill, lemon wedges, poached eggs and diced avocados around the bagels.
  4. Step 4 - 🍽️😋🎉
    Serve immediately, enabling your guests to assemble their own bagels as per their preferred taste.

Additional

Fun fact: Bagels originated from Jewish communities in Poland. Their hole in the center allows for multiple bagels to be threaded onto a dowel, making transportation, display, and selling much easier. This breakfast board is perfect for a special occasion, brunch gathering or even just a lazy weekend morning. Kids will have fun picking and choosing their own toppings!
