What it is
This is a popular seasoning blend that captures the classic flavors of an everything bagel. It typically combines toasted sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and coarse sea salt. The combination offers a savory and slightly crunchy texture. It is designed to mimic the topping found on everything bagels, providing a burst of flavor and aroma to various dishes.
