Bagel Board

Jump to Recipe

For a cozy family breakfast or hosting Sunday brunch for a hungry crowd, my Bagel Board makes a flexible, creative, and delicious meal. With a variety of fresh toppings and spreads, it offers something yummy for everyone!

One Board to Feed Them All

Plain or all dressed up, there’s something about a fresh, chewy bagel that just hits the spot for me. I’m craving one now! That’s why the Bagel Board is on repeat at our kitchen table all the time. I created a bagel board for my first cookbook, Beautiful Boards and I can’t believe I haven’t shared a version here! From savory to sweet and everything in between the Bagel Board makes a perfect brunch they won’t soon forget.

Variety makes the bagel brunch board a hands-down favorite in our house. From toppings to spreads to the bagels themselves, there’s so much to choose from! Your bagel creation can be different every time! Feeling a little salty? Try the smoked salmon and capers on a plain bagel. Got a bit of a sweet tooth? Go for peanut butter and strawberry slices on a blueberry bagel. My kids love to sample a little bit of everything on the board. Half of the fun is seeing what new combos we can come up with! I’ve listed a bunch of toppings in the recipe card, but you do you! That’s what’s so great about this board. Tons of flexibility. If you’re making this board for a later brunch, try toppings like tomato, cucumber and cold cuts.

Build to Suit!

One of my favorite things about the Bagel Board is how easy it is to size up or down. Need something to nosh for brunch with the girls? Bagel Board. Feeding the whole team? Bagel Board. I built the board pictured below on a 36” x 12” wood board but you can just as easily make your creation bigger or smaller depending on the group you’re feeding.

Quick Tips!

  • Keep a toaster handy for those that would like to toast their bagels.
  • Good fresh bagels don’t have to be toasted! Some people actually prefer their bagels not toasted (and who can blame them?).
  • Pre-slicing the bagels in half lets each person enjoy ½ of a bagel at a time rather than committing to a whole bagel. We often enjoy one flavored ½ bagel one way and then another flavored ½ bagel a completely different way.

How to Build a Bagel Board

Start by baking the bacon and keeping it warming in a 200°F oven while you prepare the board. While the bacon is cooking, wash the strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and set aside to dry. Then peel and slice the kiwi. Peel and separate the mandarin oranges, quarter the strawberries, and cut the watermelon, cantaloupe and pineapple into chunks, if you didn’t buy it pre-cut. Slice the red onion and drain the capers.

Slice the bagels in half, and layer them down the center of a 36” x 12” wood board.

Fill small bowls with plain cream cheese, strawberry cream cheese, strawberry jam, honey butter, hazelnut spread, peanut butter and a little jar with honey and place them on the board.

Fill bowls with prepared watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberries, oranges, kiwi, blueberries, and raspberries and arrange them on the board.

Add the sliced red onion and capers to small bowls and place them on the board.

Arrange the warm baked bacon in the top left and right corners of the board and the sliced smoked salmon in the bottom left and right corners of the board.

Serve and Enjoy!
