This Everything Bagel seasoning recipe is great on everything from bagels to chicken, fish, and of course, cream cheese. Plus just about anything else!

Most folks know this bagel spice blend, thanks to Trader Joe’s. And I know it’s called bagel seasoning, but it truly can be used for so much more! Check out the list below.

What Is Everything Bagel Seasoning?

This simple seasoning is a blend of dried garlic, onion, sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, and poppy seeds.

Can You Double Or Triple The Recipe?

You can! You can multiply this as many times as you like, however, I would cut back slightly on the salt with each duplication. You can also cut this recipe in half if you just want to try it or don’t think you can use it up fast enough.

What To Do With Everything But The Bagel Seasoning?

There is so much! Here are some suggestions:

  • Sprinkle over mac and cheese.
  • Use it as a rub for chicken, especially baked or roasted chicken.
  • Sprinkle it over your morning eggs.
  • Use it as a topping and/or seasoning when you bake bread.
  • It’s great for seasoning roasted veggies.
  • Sprinkle a dash over homemade fries.
  • Sprinkle it over deviled eggs
  • Add it as a seasoning for popcorn
  • Sprinkle a dash over a bowl of soup
  • Shake some over a green salad
  • Sprinkle it over a baked potato
  • Add it to homemade vinaigrettes
  • Mix it into butter for flavored butter
  • Mix it into your usual tuna salad
  • Sprinkle over breakfast potatoes

How Do You Get Everything Bagel Seasoning To Stick To A Bagel?

If you love to make your own bagels at home but can’t seem to get the seasoning to stick to the tops of your bagels, here’s the trick to make it stick.

Using a basting brush, brush the top of each bagel with a very light layer of water. Then sprinkle on the seasoning and bake. And just like that, your seasoning will stick!

About The Ingredients

Sesame seeds – I used untoasted, white sesame seeds.

Black sesame seeds

Poppy seeds

Garlic granules – You can also use garlic powder, dehydrated, minced garlic, or garlic flakes.

Onion granules – You can also use onion powder, onion flakes, or dried onion.

Salt – I used pink Himalayan salt, but you can use whatever you normally cook with. Note that this amount of salt makes the seasoning itself pretty salty. But once added to a dish, the salt blends in nicely. You can cut back on it if you wish, however, or omit it completely. For sea salt, use no more than level 1 tsp. for kosher salt, use a heaping teaspoon.
