Skip the store-bought everything bagel seasoning! You can make it at home with pantry ingredients you probably already have. I’ve left a few notes on the bottom on how to customize if you want.
Place all the ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Combine with a fork. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
To customize the everything bagel seasoning, sprinkle a little bit of the seasoning on a cream cheese smeared piece of toast to taste. Adjust the seasonings by increasing the ingredients that you want to have a more prominent flavor.
Consider adding black sesame seeds, caraway seeds or cracked black pepper to the mix. Black sesame will darken the mix along with the poppy seeds. Caraway seeds add a distinctive peppery anise licorice flavor that some folks love and others don’t care for. It blends nicely with the other ingredients. Black pepper has an earthy heat to the mix. Try to use larger cracked pepper as the finely ground pepper will lose its potency as it sits in the jar.
