Why You'll Love This Recipe
One of my favorite things about making an ingredient mix like this is how quickly it comes together. This mixture takes less than 2 minutes to whip up and you only need 5 simple pantry staples. You don't have to worry about running out as you can just make your own. And, you certainly don't have to not make a recipe because you're missing this flavor filled seasoning. It's more affordable to make your own too. I can't get enough of this mix on my Cream Cheese Pepper Jelly Dip or on top of Croissant Turkey Melts. So, so, so good!
Let's Gather The Ingredients
- Sesame seeds: Add a nutty flavor and subtle crunch. Both white and black sesame seeds are often used for contrast, giving the seasoning its classic look and toasty bite.
- Poppy seeds: Tiny but flavorful, they bring a mild nuttiness and a hint of earthy flavor. They also add texture and that signature “bagel” speckled appearance.
- Dried minced onion: Delivers a punch of savory onion flavor with a bit of chew. It balances the nuttiness of the seeds and gives that bakery-style everything bagel taste.
- Granulated garlic: Provides a warm, garlicky flavor that ties everything together. Granulated garlic distributes evenly and adds depth without overpowering.
- Kosher salt: Enhances all the flavors in the mix while adding a satisfying crunch. Its coarse texture works well with the other chunky ingredients, so the blend doesn’t settle or turn powdery.
Recipe Tips
- This recipe makes about 1/2 cup of seasoning. Store it in a dry area in a jar for up to 6 months.
- You can easily double or triple this seasoning mix. This makes good gifts to give to friends and family.
- Toast the sesame seeds before mixing for extra nuttiness.
- Add black sesame seeds for color contrast and deeper flavor.

- No poppy seeds, don't fret! Just use more sesame seeds or chia seeds as a stand-in.
Recipe Faq's
It’s savory, nutty, garlicky, and a little salty. Plus, you get a nice crunch from the seeds and dried onion. It’s bold but not overpowering. Perfect to add to so many things.
You can, but use slightly less, as table salt is finer and can make the blend too salty.
