Bagel and Lox Platter

A big part of the Jewish culture is brunch. I think the thought of sleeping in on weekends and then having a larger meal between breakfast and lunch really appeals to a lot of people. Sweet or savoury, this meal has become a staple in our home. My husband LOVES brunch. Any food breakfast style is his favourite. We have had many nights where I would make breakfast for dinner because it’s easy and I know he will enjoy.

Any Jewish breakfast, lunch or brunch table would not be complete without bagels, lox and schmear. Schmear is a spread- something you would put on a bagel. Common brunch schmears would be cream cheese, tuna and egg salad.

I created this lox platter because every brunch table needs one and this one has that wow factor. It has everything you need on one tray- the bagels, schmear, lox and various veggie toppings. This platter is a small version, but you can add more layers and many more bagels and serve a hungry crowd.

So, grab your brunch staples, your favourite toppings and customize your own bagel and lox platter! This platter is worth gossiping about!
