Bagel Botox

Let’s give bagels a face lift and see what happens. The traditional way of serving bagels is to present them in a pretty basket with nice linens. Typically you’d see whipped butters and preserves along with flavored cream cheeses. To take this staple food to the next level, I’d suggest the following;

Take (3) 48-Inch Tables and lay them out into a Mickey Mouse fashion (the head in the center flanked by the two “ear” tables on the top portion of the center table).

Make each one it’s own little tapas station.

The first one would have whole-wheat bagels with small bowls of guacamole, diced radishes and a cruet of lemon infused olive oil.

The second table could have egg bagels with small bowls of sliced tomatoes, fresh Swiss cheese, slivered pastrami, home made sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing.

A Black Russian Bagel takes the stage on the third table with sides of whipped cream cheese, lavender honey, granny smith apples and honey -roasted walnuts.

Of course, you can still have a side table of traditional offering for those who just don’t like to change it up, but that’s up to you!
