The exact history and origins of the everything bagel are somewhat unclear. There are several accounts of bagel factory workers coming up with the idea in the 1970s, but regardless of who’s responsible for coming up with this delicious blend of seeds and spices, only in recent years has it become popular to use it for seasoning things other than bagels. Trader Joe’s began selling their Everything But The Bagel seasoning in 2017, inspiring an avalanche of products inspired by the blend. We love adding EBTB to our own homemade snacks, but we’ve also found a few store-bought products that are totally worth the splurge.
Eliot’s Everything Bagel Nut Butter
Spread it on your toast or even enjoy it on another everything bagel. This savory take on mixed-nut butter is blended with four kinds of nuts, made even more flavorful with sesame and poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and salt.
Sonoma Creamery Everything Cheddar Cheese Crisps
These are a fantastic snack option if you follow a keto or gluten-free diet. They’re basically just cheese, baked into a crunchy cracker-like texture. There are several flavor varieties available, but the Everything Cheddar ones are our favorite.
Homemade Snacks
You can sprinkle Everything But The Bagel on everything from vegetables to popcorn to make even the blandest foods satisfying and delicious. We love how 30 Minute Foodie uses it on these stuffed pepper bites!
