If you’ve ever wished your food had that little extra something, this crunchy, garlicky, nutty magic – this is the answer. Inspired by the iconic everything bagel topping, this homemade blend is an absolute game-changer. Sprinkle it on avo toast, eggs, cottage cheese, or even a basic buttered bread slice – it instantly upgrades anything. And the best part? You can whip it up in minutes with pantry staples.
This seasoning is the ultimate finishing touch for pretty much everything. Stir it into cream cheese for an instant dip, sprinkle it over popcorn for a salty-savory snack, or coat roasted veggies in olive oil and this mix before baking for an unreal crunch. It’s also a next-level game-changer for grilled cheese, scrambled eggs, and even fried rice.
Keep your seasoning blend fresh by storing it in an airtight jar in a cool, dry spot. It stays crunchy and flavorful for up to six months (if you don’t use it all before then). A quick shake before each use keeps the flavors evenly distributed.
