Bagels and Lox, have you tried it? This traditional brunch dish is not only delectable, but it is also visually stunning. Even better than that? It requires zero cooking! Yes, you heard that right. As long as you can push the toaster lever down, you will have no problems creating this incredible brunch spread.

Simple and Customizable!

The simplicity of this platter will fool every guest that walks by. Set the largest items on the tray first; a bowl of cream cheese followed by bagels.  Use your imagination and fill in the blanks with the condiments and toppings.  This week at Heinen’s, there are the most beautiful Dahlias.  Simply take off the stem, all the way to the base of the flower and place on the platter.

Heinen's Grocery Store

By Heinen's Grocery Store

In 1929, Joe Heinen opened the doors of a small butcher shop on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, aiming to establish himself as the city’s purveyor of quality meats. As customers came into Heinen’s new shop for their meat purchases, they began asking him to carry groceries as well. Joe added homemade peanut butter, pickles and donuts and by 1933, business had grown enough to include a line of produce and canned goods. Heinen’s Grocery Store was born.
