    If you're in love with Everything Bagel Seasoning here is the recipe! Now you can whip up a batch at home anytime. Making your own everything bagel seasoning is not only cheaper, but I think this recipe is even better than Trader Joe's brand.

    Like many others, I fell in love with this seasoning blend after I stumbled upon it at Trader Joe's. 

    Everything bagel seasoning is a super tasty mix of savory sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onions, and garlic. It's all of the spices used to top and everything bagel — in a jar without the bread. 

    After you learn how easy it is to make this seasoning blend at home, you can literally add it to everything. I use it almost daily on hard-boiled eggs or avocado toast. 

    The flavor combo is so delicious you can use it on almost anything you want to add a little extra flavor to.

    • Sesame Seeds: I use a mixture of black and white seeds. You can experiment with your favorite combination.
    • Poppy Seeds:
    • Garlic Granules: Garlic granules are extra-coarse chopped, dried garlic.
    • Onion Granules: Onion granules are extra-coarse chopped, dried garlic.
    • Coarse Salt: I have used Kosher salt or Maldon sea salt.
    • Crushed Red Pepper: (optional) If you like a spicy kick, add the crushed red pepper.

    Recipe Instructions

    This is hardly even a recipe. The only thing that you have to do to make this seasoning blend at home is to mix everything together.

    The only extra step is adding the spices to a pan and gently toasting them.

    1. Heat a medium-sized sauté pan on medium heat.
    2. Add the spices to the pan and gently toast them until they are fragrant. Watch them closely so that they don't burn.
