Homemade Gluten-Free Bagels & Lox

This is a family favorite.  I grew up eating bagels and lox with my dad - sometimes smoke salmon mixed right into the cream cheese, sometimes big slabs on top. Either way was delicious!  I tend to use tiny piece of smoked salmon on the kids bagels and put large slabs on top for grown-ups, but however you prefer it's a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner meal.  It's great piled with a selection of thinly sliced fresh vegetables, too. I brought homemade bagels, cream cheese, lox and a veggie platter to a church potluck recently, and it was inhaled!  Enjoy!

Homemade Gluten-Free Bagels & Lox.  One of my favorite breakfast meals - lovely smoked salmon on an everything bagel! Eat like this, or top with fresh veggies, dill, and capers.

Bagels & Lox

Make double or triple batch of gluten-free everything bagels.  Slice each bagel in half.  Great fresh or you can toast them, too.

For a delicious spread, arrange on a platter:
red onion, thinly sliced
tomatoes, sliced
cucumbers, sliced
capers, sprinkled lightly over toppings (optional)

Place on a platter, loosening layers slightly - and slicing into smaller pieces, if desired:
smoked salmon, thinly sliced with dill
(you can arrange fresh dill on top if your smoked salmon doesn't have dill already added)

Serve with 1-2 containers cream cheese.

These are great piled high with each topping, or you can pick and choose what you like best! Enjoy!

Platters of dill smoked salmon and veggies - ready to eat!

I sliced the salmon into smaller pieces so they more easily fit on the bagels.
