Homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning
If you like everything bagels, you’ll want to have a jar of this everything bagel seasoning in your pantry to add to everything from chicken to cheese balls to avocado toast!
Fact: Everything bagels are the best bagels there are. If you disagree you can fight me.
Is a bagel even worth it if it’s not coated in a heavy blanket of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, salt, and onion? I mean, maybe if there’s some really good cream cheese, or smoked salmon. But even with those other perks, the everything bagel seasoning blend really brings it to another level.
And if it can do so much for a bagel, just imagine what it can do for your other favorite foods! On scrambled eggs? So much better. Coating a cheese ball? To die for. Sprinkled over hummus? Everyone will be clamoring for that first scoop on top.
Avocado toast, chicken, popcorn, potato salad, you name it, it’s better with everything bagel seasoning. The sky’s the limit.
You may know I’m a big fan of making my own spice blends to keep in the pantry, like this blackened seasoning. They’re easy to whip up in just a few minutes and so convenient to have on hand to add a quick punch of flavor to whatever you’re cooking. And you can customize them to your preferences, like if you want to add more or less salt.
This recipe is another one that’s great to have around for when something just needs that extra kick of texture and flavor.
What’s in everything bagel seasoning?
It’s a pretty simple blend consisting of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic and onion flakes, and flaky salt (I use kosher, you can use sea salt if you wish.) You can use both black and white sesame seeds if you’d like, but I just used white here.
What are some everything bagel seasoning uses?
There’s so much you can do with everything bagel seasoning! Here are a few examples:
