The best thing about dip is that you can eat it with whatever you want! Here are a few of my favorite ideas for how to eat this everything but the bagel seasoning dip:

• Spread it on a bagel – I know it sounds extra, but try spreading this everything but the bagel dip on your favorite toasted bagel! It’s delicious.

Substitutions & Variations

This everything bagel dip recipe is pretty great on its own, but if you need to make some changes I have a few suggestions for you!

• Scallions – you can use chopped green onions instead of scallions.
• Dairy Free – you can most likely find dairy free cream cheese and sour cream alternatives in your grocery store!
• Higher Protein – if you want to up the protein in this recipe, you can replace the sour cream with plain greek yogurt!
• Cream Cheese – you can use full-fat cream cheese or low-fat cream cheese, whatever suits your dietary needs. Personally, I like full-fat cream cheese because it’s very rich and creamy but low-fat cream cheese will work well, too.
• Copycat Everything But The Bagel Seasoning – If you can’t find everything but the bagel seasoning, you can make your own! Combine 2 tablespoons poppy seeds, 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic, 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon dried minced onion, 2 teaspoons flaked sea salt or coarse salt. Once you’ve made up your everything bagel seasoning mix, use 3 tablespoons of it for this recipe!

Storage

Store your leftover everything bagel dip in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Freezing cream cheese can alter the texture a bit, so freezing isn’t recommended. If you don’t mind if the texture changes, you can definitely freeze this dip in a freezer safe, airtight container or bag for up to three months.
