Transfer the cream cheese to small bowls or leave in the container. Place them onto the board along with a bowl of sliced cucumber and red onion.
Arrange the bagels around the bowls – I usually plan for 2 full- sized bagels or 3 mini bagels per person leave. I like to arrange the bagels around the outside of the board so there's room for everything else in the middle. You can leave the bagels whole or cut a few in half for those with a smaller appetite.
Fill the remaining space on the board with bagel toppings, bacon, fresh fruit, and mini jam jars. (see note)
Notes
If you can’t find mini jam jars, you can put the jam in small bowls and place them on the board when you add the cream cheese bowls.
