You love everything bagel seasoning—but now what?
When you think of everything bagel seasoning, your mind probably jumps to the classic: a golden bagel crusted with sesame seeds, garlic, onion, and poppy seeds. And sure, that’s where it started—but it definitely doesn’t have to end there.
At its core, everything bagel seasoning is a mix of savoury, crunchy bits that deliver a punch of flavour and texture—no prep required. That’s the magic. It’s why we took the classic and gave it four creative twists at The Spice Drawer—Spicy, Fried Onion, Italian, and Mexican—each designed to take your cooking in new, delicious directions.
These blends are here to make food more fun. No rules, no fancy techniques. Just sprinkle, taste, and go from there.
Everyday Uses You’ll Keep Coming Back To
Whichever blend you reach for, the idea stays the same: add flavour and texture with zero extra effort. These are the kinds of shortcuts that make weeknight cooking feel a little less like a chore—and a lot more like play.
Here are just a few low-effort ways to use them:
- Eggs (scrambled, fried, boiled—any style!)
- Avocado or cream cheese toast
- Swirled into dips, hummus, or sour cream
- Sprinkled on popcorn
- A glow-up for instant noodles (try with a jammy egg)
- Roasted vegetables
- Plain salads that need some personality
- Sandwiches, wraps, or grilled cheese
- Frozen pizza, made way better
- Stirred into softened butter for a quick flavour bomb
- Mixed into vinaigrettes or salad dressings
- A finishing touch for soups, stews, or pasta
- Tossed into scone or focaccia dough
- Fries and tots
