Step 1: Preheat your oven according to the pizza crust package directions (usually around 400°F / 200°C) if your crust requires warming. If using a raw dough, prepare and bake it partially according to its instructions until lightly golden. We're aiming for a sturdy base for our Bagels and Lox Breakfast Pizza.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, chopped chives, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined and smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. This will be the delicious 'schmear' for your Bagels and Lox Breakfast Pizza.
Step 3: Once the pizza crust is ready and slightly cooled (or completely cooled if you prefer a 'cold' pizza experience, like a true bagel spread), spread the dill cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface, leaving a small border for the crust.
Step 4: Arrange the smoked salmon slices artfully over the cream cheese layer. Don't be shy; ensure good coverage for that classic Bagels and Lox Breakfast Pizza flavor.
Step 5: Scatter the drained capers, thinly sliced red onion, cucumber slices or ribbons, and halved cherry tomatoes over the salmon. These fresh toppings add essential texture and brightness to your Bagels and Lox Breakfast Pizza.
Step 6: If desired, sprinkle with additional fresh dill and a generous amount of everything bagel seasoning for an authentic touch. Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your fantastic Bagels and Lox Breakfast Pizza!
