How to Make New York Style Bagel and Lox Breakfast
Prepare the Bagel: Slice the bagel in half and toast it lightly to a golden brown for extra crunch.
Spread Cream Cheese: Once the bagel is toasted, spread a generous layer of cream cheese on each half.
Add Lox: Place the smoked salmon evenly over the cream cheese on both halves of the bagel.
Layer with Vegetables: Add a few slices of red onion, tomato, and cucumber on top of the salmon. Adjust the amount to your taste.
Garnish: Sprinkle fresh dill on top, add a few capers for a briny touch if you like, and add a dash of freshly ground black pepper. Serve with a lemon wedge on the side to drizzle over the top just before eating.
Serve: Arrange the bagel halves on a plate, and serve alongside your favorite morning coffee or tea. Enjoy your New York-style bagel and lox.
