- Quality: Azure Standard sources spices from trusted growers, so you get the freshest and most flavorful options.

My Favorite Uses for Everything Bagel Seasoning
Avocado Toast: I have avocado toast every morning and I always sprinkle it with my Everything Bagel Seasoning. There is something so incredibly satisfying about the creamy avocado and crunch of the seasoning. You can also add a small squeeze of lemon for extra freshness.
Homemade Bagels: This seasoning is a must have-have for our homemade bagels. After boiling your bagels, generously sprinkle the seasoning before baking. The result? A homemade bagel that rivals any store-bought version.
Other Uses:
- Eggs: Sprinkle on scrambled eggs, omelets, or even deviled eggs.
- Salads: Add a pinch to your salad dressings or directly onto salads.
- Roasted Vegetables: Toss your veggies with olive oil and this seasoning before roasting.
- Homemade Rolls or Bread: Apply an egg-wash to your homemade bread and sprinkle before baking.
- Popcorn: Seasoning your popcorn with this mix for a unique snack.
- Cottage Cheese: Top cottage cheese with seasoning.
Storage Tips
Proper storage is key to keeping your Everything Bagel Seasoning fresh:
- Airtight Container: Always store in an airtight container to protect from moisture and air, which can degrade the flavor.
- Cool, Dark Place: Keep your seasoning in a cool, dark place like a pantry or spice cabinet to preserve the quality of the seeds and herbs.
- Shelf Life: While it can last for months, for the best flavor, use within 3-6 months. You might find yourself using it so often that you’ll need to make a fresh batch regularly!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I customize the Everything Bagel Seasoning?

A: Yes, if made with the ingredients listed above, it is naturally gluten-free. However, always check individual spice labels if you’re buying in bulk to ensure no cross-contamination.
