Everything Bagel Seasoning Uses & Recipes
Discover easy ways to use everything bagel seasoning: dips, baked salmon, bagels, cheese ball, bread and quick tips for making and storing your blend.
- Everything bagel seasoning works far beyond bagels: try it in dips, on baked salmon, on breads, and as a finishing sprinkle.
- For encrusting proteins, press the seasoning onto a lightly oiled or mustard-coated filet so it sticks and toasts while baking.
- Store the blend in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Homemade mixes taste best within 6 months; refrigeration extends shelf life.

Everything Bagel Cheese Ball
Deconstructing a dish seems to be every chef’s dream these days, reinventing a recipe with its essential flavors and ingredients. We reenvisioned the classic lox platter with this smoked salmon everything bagel cheese ball. Just be sure you have extra bagel chips on hand.
Everything Bagel Snack Dip
The best part of this recipe is the juxtaposition of the creamy dip and that garlicky bagel crunch. We also love putting a little bit of everything in our hummus recipes too. Homemade or store-bought, dips are always better with a bit of bagel on top
Everything Baked Salmon
Salmon on a bagel? Sure! But, how about putting bagel on a salmon? The maple mustard marinade pairs perfectly with the toasted bagel toppings. This encrusting technique is an excellent way to cook any fish filet and can be modified with bread crumbs or slivered almonds.
Sourdough Everything Bagels
We wouldn’t have everything without the bagel, so we must never forget about this spice blend’s roots. We love our friend Anela Malik’s bagel recipe because it inspired us to use that sourdough starter many of us have sitting in the refrigerator.
No-Knead Everything Bagel Bread
This recipe has been adapted from Mark Bittman and Jim Lahey's original no-knead bread recipe. Click here to read our original no-knead bread post with step-by-step pictures of how to handle the dough.

How do I get the seasoning to stick to salmon or other proteins?
Lightly brush the filet with oil, mustard, or an egg wash, then press the seasoning firmly onto the surface. Bake at a moderate temperature so the seeds toast but the garlic and onion do not burn.
Can I bake with everything bagel seasoning? Will it burn?

I like to put this on avocado toast,although I found your version to be overly salty.
