What it is
This is a popular seasoning blend that captures the classic flavors found on an everything bagel. It typically includes a mix of toasted sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, poppy seeds, and coarse sea salt. The combination offers a savory, slightly pungent, and crunchy texture that enhances many dishes. It's a convenient way to add complex flavor without needing to gather individual spices.

Simply sprinkle this blend generously over your food before or after cooking. It's excellent on eggs, whether scrambled, fried, or in an omelet.
