There truly isn't a better way to serve a group of people than by assembling an epic charcuterie board.
Not only is it easy to put together since it doesn't involve any cooking (yay for assembled meals!), but it's a great way to serve a variety of people who might have various taste preferences or dietary considerations like dairy-free, vegan, low carb, or gluten-free.
We put this incredible bagel board charcuterie together this past Christmas when we had family in town and was it ever a hit! Even better? Your guests won't mind helping you!
Ingredient list
We used fresh bakery bagels purchased at the crack of dawn from a popular local bagel shop, you can also use packaged grocery store bagels to make it even easier. Some grocery stores carry bakery bagels that get delivered first thing in the morning.
- Bagels - we used a variety of flavored bakery bagels, you can also use grocery store bagels or mini bagels.
- Protein- Smoked salmon or lox, cooked bacon, Proscuitto, hard-boiled eggs

- Seasonings- everything but the bagel seasoning and fresh herbs
Variations
Bagel and lox charcuterie board- Make a board with plain or savory bagels, lox, cucumber slices, pickled red onions, avocado slices, cream cheese, and fresh dill.
Sweet bagel board - skip the savory options and just add the chocolate, jams, fruit, flavored cream cheeses, nuts and stick to simple or sweet bagel flavors.
How to Assemble a Bagel Board
Arrange the bagels on the wooden cutting board. A mix of regular-size bagels and mini bagels also makes for a nice variety.
Add any small containers to the board that hold ingredients such as the cream cheeses, jams, peanut butter, chocolate sauce, pickled onions, capers, and seasonings.
Add the protein options to the board including cooked bacon, lox or smoked salmon, prosciutto, and hard-boiled eggs.
Add the fresh fruits and vegetables like avocado slices, tomato slices, sliced cucumbers, red onion, arugula, bananas, strawberries, and raspberries.
Fill in any gaps with fillers such as berries, fresh herbs like dill, chocolate, or nuts.
Recipe notes
- You can make a board as large or as small as you want depending on how many people you're serving.
