We love Bagels! We love flatbread! We love breakfast! So, imagine when we got our hands on this spin on a morning favorite, featured at Villard Restaurant in the historic Villard Mansion at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel!
The restaurant, lead by Chef Oscar Granados, offers New American Breakfast, and boasts locally sourced, farm to table ingredients, inspired by French cafes and European bistros.
This pizza uses a “pastrami style” spiced smoked salmon, crème fraîche in place of cream cheese and a light pizza crust. You can substitute ready made pita bread or flatbread.
A light, summer breakfast “take” on a traditional salmon and toasted bagel.
Enjoy!
