Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Ingredients

3 day-old plain bagels, halved horizontally and cut into pieces
2 to 3 tablespoons olive or canola oil
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons capers in brine, drained
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces smoked salmon or lox, sliced paper thin and torn into pieces
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened but cool, torn into rough chunks
4 ounces baby spinach
1 small bulb fennel, sliced paper thin
1/2 English cucumber, sliced paper thin
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

For the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the bagel pieces in a large bowl, drizzle with the olive oil, and toss to coat. Add the poppy seeds, sesame seeds and some salt; toss again. Spread the bagel pieces out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until light golden brown and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes.
For the vinaigrette: Put the lemon zest and juice, dill, capers, mustard, and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl; whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make a thick creamy dressing. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.
For the salad: Put the croutons, smoked salmon and cream cheese in a large bowl, and then mound the spinach, fennel, cucumber and red onion on top. Spoon some of the vinaigrette around the side of the bowl and toss gently to coat the salad with dressing. Spoon the remaining vinaigrette nicely on individual serving plates and gently mound some salad on top. Serve immediately.

EVERYTHING BAGEL STRATA

"Being a born-and-raised New Yorker, always have two things in my kitchen: everything bagels and smoked salmon. This recipe is a perfect use for them," says Bobby.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

Unsalted butter, for the baking dish
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
8 large eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
5 day-old everything bagels, halved horizontally and cut into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced

Steps:

Make the strata: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Combine the cream cheese and eggs in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the milk and parmesan and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Add the dill and blend a few seconds, then blend in the lemon zest.
Transfer the custard to a large bowl. Add the bagel pieces and mix to coat, pressing on the bagels to totally submerge them in the custard. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight, pressing on the bagels a few times.
Preheat the oven to 350˚. While it heats, remove the strata from the refrigerator, uncover and place on a baking sheet. Bake until puffed and lightly golden brown around the edges and just set in the center, about 40 minutes. Let sit for 15 minutes.
Make the caper relish: Combine the capers, dill, tomatoes and onion in a bowl. Season with a touch of salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
To serve, cut the strata into large round circles (like a bagel!) and place on plates. Top with the smoked salmon and relish.

EVERYTHING-BAGEL SMOKED SALMON DIP

Everything-Bagel Smoked Salmon Dip image

Reminiscent of whitefish salad, smoked trout spread and everything bagels with lox, this creamy dip combines hot-smoked fish, yogurt, everything bagel seasoning, fresh dill and lemon. It can be eaten with crisp and fresh accompaniments, such as bagel chips, cucumbers and tomatoes. Or, enjoy it in a sandwich or as a salad scooped onto a bed of greens. Feel free to add capers, horseradish, chopped celery or red onion or anything you like in your tuna salad or on your bagel, but taste before adding: The fish and everything bagel seasoning provide plenty of flavor on their own.

Time 5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups full-fat plain Greek yogurt (12 ounces)
8 ounces hot-smoked trout or salmon fillets, skin and bones removed, fish flaked into small pieces (see Tip)
1/4 cup thinly sliced dill fronds and stems, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons lemon zest (from 1 large lemon)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons everything-bagel seasoning (store-bought or homemade), plus more for serving
Black pepper
Raw or pickled vegetables, such as cucumbers, radishes and tomatoes; chips or crackers; gigante beans or hard-boiled eggs, for serving

Steps:

In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, trout, dill, lemon zest and juice and everything-bagel seasoning. Season with black pepper. (The fish and bagel seasoning are both salty, so you likely won't need additional salt.)
Spoon into a serving bowl and top with more everything-bagel seasoning, black pepper and dill. Eat with any mix of dippers. (It keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days, but season again with lemon, salt and pepper before eating.)

Tips:

To save time, use pre-made Everything Bagel seasoning rather than making your own.
Use day-old bagels for a firmer texture in the strata.
Feel free to adjust the amount of capers in the relish to your taste.
If you don't have smoked salmon, use another type of smoked fish, such as trout or whitefish.
Serve the strata with additional capers, smoked salmon, and Everything Bagel seasoning, if desired.

This Everything Bagel Strata with Caper Relish and Smoked Salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish.
