Bagel Seasoning
Bagel seasoning, also frequently known as "everything bagel seasoning", is a savory and crunchy blend of seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt. Its texture is coarse and adds a delightful crunch to whatever it seasons. The flavor profile is a bold combination of garlicky, oniony, and subtly nutty from the sesame and poppy seeds, and it provides a distinctly savory experience. It typically includes sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic flakes, dried onion flakes, and coarse salt. This versatile blend enhances both sweet and savory dishes with its unique taste and texture and is popular for flavoring bagels, avocado toast, and various snacks.
Common Uses
- Topping for bagels: Sprinkle generously on freshly baked or toasted bagels, especially cream cheese topped bagels, to provide extra flavor and texture.- Seasoning for avocado toast: Use as a topping on avocado toast for a boost of flavor and crunch; it complements the creamy avocado perfectly.- Crust for chicken or fish: Use it as a coating for chicken or fish before baking or pan-frying to create a flavorful and crispy crust.- Flavor enhancer for dips and spreads: Mix into cream cheese, hummus, or other dips and spreads for added flavor and texture- Topping for roasted vegetables: Sprinkle on roasted vegetables like potatoes, carrots, or Brussels sprouts for added savory flavor- Seasoning for eggs: Sprinkle on scrambled eggs, fried eggs, or omelets for added flavor.

Storage Tips
Bagel seasoning should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, like a pantry or spice cabinet. Proper storage is essential to prevent clumping and maintain its flavor and aroma. Avoid storing near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
