Ingredients
Instructions

4 eggs 1/4 cup capers 3/4 cup cream cheese (flavor to your preference) 4 bagels, sliced in half (everything, plain, sesame etc.) 12 oz. smoked salmon, pre-sliced 1 heirloom tomato, thinly sliced 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced 1 small lemon, thinly sliced 5 radishes, thinly sliced 2 ripe, Fresh California Avocados, seeded, peeled and quartered 1 cup micro greens 3 sprigs fresh dill, for garnish

To boil the eggs, bring a small sauce pot of water to a rolling boil. With a slotted spoon, gently add the eggs and boil for 7-8 minutes.
Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath (a medium bowl filled with half water/half ice) to cool down for 2-3 minutes. Once cooled, gently peel off the shells, slice eggs in half and set aside.
To begin assembling the board, place the capers and cream cheese into small bowls and arrange on the board with serving spoons and spreaders.
Arrange bagels onto one half of the board or serve in a separate basket.
Gently arrange smoked salmon slices onto the board and produce fixings around capers and cream cheese bowls until the board has filled out.
Garnish with fresh dill.

Variations: Add in additional proteins such as crisp bacon strips.

Serving Suggestion: The board can be prepared ahead of time but perishables such as cream cheese and smoked salmon should remain chilled until ready to serve.

Beverage Pairing: Pair with a mimosa or a Bloody Mary.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.

Editor's Note

I love using a mandolin to make my produce slices uniform and for much faster prep.
