Instructions

Slice block of cream cheese into 6 triangles. Arrange the cream cheese triangles on the board, evenly spaced, and place the salmon along one side of each triangle. Depending on the size of the board, you might want to only put 3 triangles on the board at first, replacing them as they are used.

Place bowl of capers at a corner and then fill in the other corners with cucumber slices.

Line the open spaces with tomatoes and red onion.

Fill the edges with the sprouts. Top cream cheese with everything seasoning and/or chives, if desired.

Serve the board, letting guests build their bagels as they like. Be sure to include small tongs, forks, or other serving utensils.
