Make up a batch of Everything Bagel Seasoning Blend with just a few pantry staples. And then put it on all your favorite foods!
Growing up Jewish, bagels were a staple in our house. Still are. But not these perfectly uniform, flavorless kind you find in the super markets. No. My grandparents used to get the best, authentic bagels from Chicago and bring them up every time they visited. They would stock my mom’s freezer to get us through until their next visit!
You haven’t had a bagel until you’ve had one from a mom and pop’s Chicago or NYC bakery, trust me.
“Everything” bagels have been around forever, but the seasoning that goes on top of them isn’t just great on bagels.
My family loves it on their eggs, on their pizza, on pasta, on potatoes…well, everything. Plain pepper is so yesterday.
I’m actually surprised spice companies don’t sell this. Or maybe they do, and I’ve never noticed?
Well, regardless. I don’t need to buy it, because I can just make it – and as much or as little as I want at a time. Seems like 1/4 cup lasts us anywhere between 1-2 weeks, depending how much I sprinkle on stuff. A little goes a long way.
This is seriously the easiest way to give your food new life!

I’m with you! I put this stuff on EVERYTHING. Thanks for mentioning my Homemade Lemon Pepper Seasoning!
I replaced Poppy seeds with Chia seeds as I couldn’t find Poppy seeds and no one new the difference!
This is amazing and putting it on potatoes is such a great idea!
I’m OBSESSED with everything bagels, so I’m so excited to see this! Thanks :)
I could definitely put everything seasoning on all the things. I mean, that’s why it’s called “EVERYTHING”, right?!
I also love the “everything topping”, it’s wonderful to now have a “make your own” recipe……I have been getting mine at kingarthurflour.com where I got the recipe for a no knead “everything bread” that is wonderful! No good bagel shops here either. I’m happy to have this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Seriously, that is my #1 complaint about this area. There isn’t even a Noah’s let alone a real bagel place. Panera doesn’t cut it! I miss having 4 bagel shops in less than a mile radius in SF. :)
Ok, this is just completely genius! I love everything bagels and the fact that I can make the seasoning blend myself and put it on everything I eat!? Best idea ever.
Girl. I bought a tiny jar of everything seasoning a few months ago and after rush shipping (because I obviously needed to make a cheeseball IMMEDIATELY), it cost me almost $15. Where were you with this recipe?! I already have all the ingredients.
And now I want a bagel.
Oh my gosh Amy, my guy would LOVE you for this! Everything bagels and onion bagels are his two favorites (closely followed by cheese). Can you tell he isn’t much of a sweets person? I just may have to surprise him with this sometime soon! Pinned!
BRILLIANT.
No surprise I thought of you while I was writing this up! Bagel love. *high five*
I never thought about how versatile this blend could be, great idea!
Thanks Amanda! I wonder if this would taste good on vanilla ice cream? Hmmm. HA.
I would have never thought to put everything bagel seasonings/flavors on other things, but now I’m super intrigued. What are some of your favorite ways to use it?
Eggs, hash browns, and potatoes are at the top of my list :)
What perfect timing for me! My daughter has been wanting to make bagels and “everything bagels” are our favorite. I am going to try this topping….maybe for more than just bagels too like you suggest!
Awesome, enjoy!
This is a seriously awesome idea!! I want to put this on everything :)
And thus the name, right? Lol. Thanks, Sues!
This looks SO perfect! Everything bagels are my favorite.
And thanks for the link love!
You bet, Rachel! Thank you!
