a few saturdays ago my dad came over in the morning to deliver amesy and frank some fresh made bagels from the farmers’ market. amesy loves bagels, i’m pretty sure they’re in a completely different food category in his mind. he prefers to eat his bagels (or any of his snacks) on the corner of our counter. he munches away until he’s finished and says some version of “down”, when he’s done. most times he’s content with the one mini bagel i allow him, and other times there’s quite the ordeal.
but, back to my dad’s bagel delivery! i was making brunch for frank and me the next day. he was having an everything bagel with his eggs, i was having half an avocado with mine. when i reached down into the bag for his bagel there were a few handfuls of extra everything bagel seasoning that i promptly showered my avocado with. i posted a simple photo of it on instagram and instagram stories and got quite a lot of feedback, mostly about how everything bagel seasoning is amazing (most people use trader joe’s “everything but the bagel” blend), and how much they love it too. but i also heard from people who don’t have a trader joe’s nearby, or international followers who don’t even have access to purchase it online. so i thought i would create my own version to live here for anyone needing or wanting this recipe to fall back on.
and to be honest, i actually prefer this homemade version better. i created my own ratio of blends, and used flaky sea salt instead of a finer grain salt. and because i generally use it as a seasoning, i added a note on toasting the seeds beforehand, giving it that toasted-like-a-bagel vibe. i hope this little pantry staple finds a place in your home.
happy sprinkling, loves!
