Smoked Salmon Breakfast

Perfect Pairing:  Large tray and assorted containers

One of my all-time favorite breakfasts is a bagel with cream cheese and lox, or smoked salmon.  My family often puts this out at the holidays. 

Recently I was trying to come up with a breakfast that would be easy to take out on the boat, and decided to change up our standard bagel/cream cheese/lox variation by including a few additional toppings.  It ended up being one of the best breakfasts I have had in a long time, if I do say so myself.  Granted, it didn’t hurt that I was on the boat with my parents and some of my great girlfriends on a gorgeous morning.  Oh, there was also champagne.  That definitely didn’t hurt.

You can make this breakfast according to your tastes and what you have on hand, but this is what I included

 I like a little bit of everything on my toast. 

The Perfect Pairing for this salmon breakfast is a large tray with assorted containers.  It was great to be able to transport the entire breakfast on one tray, and the presentation was very attractive.
