Perfect Presentation Platters
Trays: I used this beautiful wooden tray from Walmart for this recipe. Target also has a similar version, or you could go with this soapstone option for a unique look.
Wooden Serving Boards: I use wooden serving boards all the time for prep, presentation, and kitchen decor! Some of my other favorites are this MacKenzie Childs wooden checkered board, this distressed board from Target, this rectangular board from Kirklands, this option from Amazon, or this raised trivet from Target. If you’re looking to start or add to a collection, Antique Hardware has this set of 3 that I get so much use out of year-round!
White Platters: If you’d prefer a marble look, this white marble pastry board from World Market is beautiful. For a less expensive option, this faux white marble tray from Walmart is also a great choice!
Can I Make This in Advance?
Prepping the bagels by cutting them in advance is definitely a time saver! Wait to add the eggs and bake until you are ready to serve so the bagels don’t get soggy and the eggs stay fresh. You could also prep the hollandaise sauced in advance if needed and store in the refrigerator, but you’ll want to warm it up in the microwave and stir well before pouring it over the bagels.
Storing Leftover Baked Bagel Egg in the Hole
Store any leftovers in a Tupperware container and refrigerate. These should stay fresh for 2-3 days!
