Why you need to make (and gift) Everything Bagel Seasoning
At the Canadian Living office, our editors are putting this savoury blend on just about everything—and making extra to gift to their loved ones.
Everything Bagel Seasoning is exactly what it sounds like: the delicious mix of ingredients that top an everything bagel. It's our editors' new obsession, so we've whipped up our own version in the Canadian Living Test Kitchen.
Toasted sesame seeds, fried onion flakes, poppy seeds, dried garlic flakes and sea salt combine to make a savoury blend that's perfect for topping and amplifying the simplest dishes—making it life-changing for inexperienced cooks.

"It's your seasoning secret weapon," says Soo Kim, Canadian Living food director and resident culinary guru. She suggests sprinkling it over pretty much everything: fried eggs, avocado toast, deviled eggs, hummus, roasted carrots, salads, grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese, buttered popcorn, poached salmon and chicken—and you can even use it as a Caesar cocktail rimmer. "The options are endless," says Soo.
Ready to mix up a batch? Our recipe makes just less than 1 cup of seasoning, but you're going to want to make a couple extra cups—it's the perfect homemade gift for friends and family. Just pour it into a 1-cup vessel and wrap a ribbon around it.

Tip: Switch up the flavour by swapping out the poppy seeds for chia seeds, or add 1 tablespoon of flax seeds for additional health benefits.
