Everything But The Bagel Seasoning has a bit of a cult following these days, and for good reason! It's a delicious, versatile seasoning that encapsulates the flavors of a classic everything bagel and can be used to enhance a wide variety of dishes, like this elevated hot honey recipe.
Everything bagels are an American breakfast classic, but the seasoning that gives them their distinct blend of flavors is good for so much more than just bagels! I'm talkin' eggs, hash browns, hummus, or inside this breakfast bagel sandwich! The possibilities are endless!
If you don't have a Trader Joe's in your area, you might not have had a chance to try this seasoning blend yet, but that's okay because we can make it ourselves with a handful of simple ingredients!

🛒 What You Need For This Recipe
🔖 Ingredients & Substitutions
- Sesame seeds: I recommend using a combination of white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, and toasted sesame seeds.
- Dried onion flakes: Or homemade minced dried onion, but I wouldn't use onion powder as it will throw off the texture.
- Dried garlic flakes: Same as above, you can use dried minced garlic but I wouldn't use garlic powder here.
- Poppy seeds: Chia seeds are a good alternative.
- Salt: I recommend coarse kosher salt, flaky sea salt, or coarse pink Himalayan salt. I would not recommend table salt for this recipe.
- Red pepper flakes: This is optional, but gives it a really nice kick that I think adds complexity of flavor and texture.
