What is a bagel board?
A bagel board is a spread of bagels and various toppings arranged on a serving board or platter. Common toppings include cream cheese, smoked salmon, sliced red onion and cucumbers. But, you can get creative and place other ingredients like hot honey, pickles, bacon on there as well. Bagel boards have gone viral in recent months as they’re a decorative breakfast assortment to make for any occasion–especially Valentine’s Day.
Easy make-ahead step for a bagel board
Want to make serving your bagel board stress-free? Assemble the board, cover it well with plastic wrap and keep it refrigerated for a few hours or up to overnight. Then, remove the plastic and serve once you’re ready. If you’re including wet ingredients, like sliced tomatoes and olives, in the spread, place them in a separate bowl so their juices don’t spill onto the other toppings.
