Can't customise the new tab page very well but in the settings page under appearance under 'show home button' (on) dot the button below the New tab page button and type edge://favorites/ as url,
Under 'On startup' select 'Open a specific page or pages' and again paste edge://favorites as url.
At least then when the new tab opens you only need to click the home button.
Works the same. Microsoft Edge Chromium is Receiving New Tab Page Customization Options. You cannot have bookmarks showing, just most visited.
