FAQs

What is Everything Bagel Seasoning?

Friends, if you haven’t heard of Everything Bagel seasoning, you are seriously missing out! It is an amaaaaaazing blend of poppy seeds, toasted sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt. In addition to eggs (deviled or otherwise), you can use it to top salads, baked potatoes, dips, and even popcorn.
It also makes an amazing crust for grilled meat. It’s readily available online or on shelves at most grocery stores, so I urge you to pick some up and try it for yourself.
