Perfect for a leisurely morning Easter feast

20 mins

Begin by toasting the bagels to your preferred level of crispness. This will add a delightful crunch that contrasts well with the creamy toppings.
Lay out the toasted bagels on a large serving platter. Place a bowl of cream cheese, allowing guests to spread as much as they like on their bagel halves.
Arrange slices of smoked salmon next to the cream cheese. Sprinkle a small dish with capers, and place sea salt and freshly ground black pepper nearby so guests can season their bagels to taste.
Warm the hot cross buns slightly, just to bring out their aroma and soften them. Place these on the platter alongside the bagels or on a separate plate if preferred.
In small bowls, serve Nutella and butter for spreading on the hot cross buns and bagels, offering a sweet counterpoint to the savory bagels.
Finally, scatter a colourful assortment of fresh berries around the platter. Not only do they add a vibrant splash of colour, but they also provide a fresh, juicy contrast to the other components of the brunch.
