Bagel with Smoked Salmon & Whipped Cream Cheese

This is a very delicious breakfast combo. The onions sharpness and the capers saltiness compliment the cream cheese and salmon so well. I use whipped cream cheese instead of regular cream cheese for a lighter finish. You could purchase whipped cream cheese at a store, but it is also possible to make. Recipe is included.

I personally prefer small sized bagels. I also save the leftover whipped cream cheese to spread it over my toast when I want a quick bite.
