Bagel n’ Lox Pizza

February 21st, 2013

Bagel n' Lox Pizza

Remember when I made that Tuna Tartar Pizza a few weeks ago? Behind the scenes I have been MAJORLY obsessed with it. Can’t get enough. But one day when I wanted to make it, I couldn’t find great tuna- so I swapped it for salmon.

It was delicious, but then I felt like the salmon needed it’s own special pizza. You know, not just mooching off of the tuna tartar pizza. Then I saw this pizza, and those made me get even more obsessed. But my favorite way to enjoy lox is on a bagel- so I just went ahead and turned the pizza into a bagel. Is that weird? Or pretty great? I’m pretty sure that is pretty great.

Bagel n' Lox Pizza

Crispy pizza crust, light and fluffy whipped cream cheese, fresh herbs, juicy cherry tomatoes and lox topped with finely shaved red onion and capers. Ooooh yeahhh…

I sort of realized that this could also be a good breakfast pizza or brunch recipe if you wanted to do something different that would be easy and feed a bunch of people at once. Enjoy!!

    OMG! And I was going to go home today and make regular old pizza for dinner! My 16 yr. old has supposedly made the fresh dough this afternoon. Now I’m going to have to stop at the grocery store and pick up the ingredients to make this! I can’t stop thinking about how delicious it looks. I think I’m firmly in the “add cucumbers” camp on this, too.

  16. Heather Christo says:

    Oh Good!!! Kelley- your son is a rock star for making the dough- and yes- go for the cukes!
