The first time I saw Everything Bagel Seasoning at Trader Joe’s, I was super excited. Everything Bagel Seasoning in a jar, the possibilities seemed endless. And then I got it home, and I really had no idea what to do with it. 🤔
I started sprinkling it on hummus, which is really good and still hasn’t gotten old, but I figured this awesomeness shouldn’t be limited to just hummus, right?
So, in my attempt to branch out, I decided to add Everything Bagel Seasoning to the base of just about every dip recipe out there (cream cheese and sour cream) and go from there. It turns out, I didn’t need to take it any further, these three simpleingredients are perfect as is.
This post will tell you how to make Everything Bagel Dip with just 3-ingredients!
What Do You Need to Make 3-Ingredient Everything Bagel Dip?
8-ounce container of whipped cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
3 Tbsp Everything Bagel Seasoning
You can use an 8-ounce block of cream cheese in place of the whipped cream cheese for this recipe. You will just need to get out your hand mixer to mix everything together.
My Favorite Tip For Making Cream Cheese-Based Dips
Buying whipped cream cheese is a shortcut I like to use when making cold dips because I can simply place the ingredients in one bowl and stir everything together by hand with a wooden spoon.
The dip is also much easier to mix if you allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature first.
NEW: Healthy Bagel Dip Recipe Ingredients
In the years since I first published this post, we’ve been experimenting with replacing sour cream with Greek yogurt in some of our recipes. And, although we still love the original version of this delicious dip, we think the yogurt gives it an extra tangy flavor. Top with diced green onions and serve it with baby carrots for a healthy alternative at your next game day party.
8-ounce whipped low-fat cream cheese
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
3 TBSP everything bagel seasoning blend
How Do I Make Everything Bagel Dip?
In a medium bowl, add the whipped cream cheese, sour cream (or Greek Yogurt), and Everything Bagel Seasoning.
Stir until everything is combined, scraping the sides of the bowl to make sure the bagel seasoning mix is fully incorporated. That’s it! Spoon the tasty dip into a serving bowl and serve.
If you’d like, you can sprinkle a little extra bagel seasoning or green onion on top for presentation.
A word of caution: You may taste the dip right after you’ve made it and be tempted to add more seasoning. The flavor gets stronger as the dip sits, so please be cautious about adding too much more seasoning than the recipe calls for.
I think 3 tablespoons is just right and much more than that can lead to a VERY strongly flavored dip.
Can I Make this Dip Ahead of Time?
Yes!
I think the flavors taste even better when they’ve had some time to meld.
You can store this dip for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and the flavor gets stronger the longer it sits.

baby carrot sticks
celery sticks

This blend is a divine mixture of black and white sesame seeds, dried minced garlic and onion, sea salt flakes and poppy seeds. The concoction's salty, savory flavors are reminiscent of your favorite bagel variety but jive with a lot more than the crusts of white bread.
This simple (yet exemplary) blend of sesame seeds (white and black), poppy seeds, dried garlic & onion, and sea salt flakes is all you need for bringing that crunchy, roasted, savory flavor to grilled chicken, buttered popcorn, baked potatoes, creamy dips, pizza dough, salad dressings, pasta, mac & cheese, or panko- ...
Their toasty, nutty flavor plays perfectly off the dried onion, garlic, and salt. A mix of black sesame seeds and white sesame seeds makes this seasoning blend visually striking, but if you can't find both, just one will work here too.
A little tangy from sour cream, this spread can be used as a dip for pretzels, potato chips, raw vegetables and, yes, bagel chips. But it's just as good on a sandwich — or even a bagel, if you're crazy for everything spice.
Finally, I like to top my everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, but plain cream cheese is delicious by itself, too. Cream cheese is very easy to flavor, so play around with adding different spices, veggies, or even fruit to make it your own!
Don't settle for just anything when you can have everything. Fresh-baked bagel topped with our Everything Bagel Seasoning: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion, garlic and salt.
An everything bagel is a type of bagel baked with a mix of toppings. The exact ingredients vary, but recipes often include garlic flakes, onion flakes, poppy seeds, sesame seeds and kosher salt. The bagels are made with regular dough and the name is independent of additional fillings such as cream cheese.
Just like the bagel itself, Everything Bagel is the perfect addition to all your breakfast and egg dishes. Omelets, breakfast bakes, or sprinkled on top of eggs fried, poached, or scrambled, the savory crunchy seasoning is the perfect pairing.
Perhaps most importantly, they still contain FLAVOR. The garlic and herb is a personal favorite of mine, but Dash recently launched “Everything But The Salt” which is the salt-free version of the beyond popular “Everything But The Bagel” seasonings that have been everywhere these days.
Despite its sodium content, everything seasoning is a healthy addition to any meal. It contains seeds and dehydrated vegetables, both of which are rich in hardy fibers, healthy fats, and an array of vitamins and minerals.
The standard combination of toppings on an everything bagel is as follows: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion, garlic, and salt. Some may add in black sesame and cracked pepper, too. The result is a supremely flavorful bite, a complex nutty flavor, and an exquisite extra crunch (and usually a ton of crumbs.)
FUN FACT: The Everything Bagel, which this seasoning mix gets its name from, was created in the 1980s. It's called “Everything” because it includes all the toppings found on other types of bagels.
TasteCooking.com calls everything bagel seasoning “a default way for chefs to sprinkle a bit of New York City sensibility across their cuisine” and notes that “the craze was only fueled when Trader Joe's began selling shakers of Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend in February 2017.” Trader Joe's products ...
