Author Notes
I love bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon, and adapted those flavors to this tart contest. In keeping with the late winter/early spring theme, I made sure the tart ingredients were available at this time of year. I added the chopped, dressed watercress on the top, as it is available now in my markets, and who doesn't want a hint of spring? —leslieleslie
