If you think Everything Bagel seasoning is just for bagels, you're missing out on one of the most versatile breakfast seasonings out there. San Felipe's Everything Bagel blend is loaded with garlic, onion, and sesame seed flavors that transform ordinary breakfast dishes into something restaurant-worthy in seconds.
Here are five unexpected (and delicious) ways to use Everything Bagel seasoning beyond the bagel.
1. Scrambled Eggs & Omelets
This is the breakfast move that will change how you cook eggs forever. Sprinkle Everything Bagel into scrambled eggs just before they finish cooking, or season your omelet filling right before you fold it. The garlic, onion, and sesame give eggs a sophisticated flavor without being heavy. Pair with a little butter and fresh herbs for that brunch-restaurant energy.
Pro tip: Season the pan with a light sprinkle before cracking your eggs in.
2. Avocado Toast & Toast Toppers
Stop settling for plain avocado on toast. Mash your avocado with a squeeze of lime juice, then dust the whole thing with Everything Bagel seasoning. The garlic and sesame amplify the richness of the avocado, and the contrast with the crispy toast is unbeatable.
You can also use it on cream cheese toast, ricotta toast, or even plain buttered toast if you're in a rush. It works everywhere.
3. Breakfast Potatoes & Hash
Whether you're making diced breakfast potatoes, hash browns, or a full breakfast hash with potatoes and vegetables, Everything Bagel is your new go-to. The seasoning's depth keeps hash from tasting one-note, and it plays beautifully with the crispy, roasted surface of cooked potatoes.
Toss your potatoes with a little oil, season with Everything Bagel, then crisp them in a cast iron or sheet pan. Restaurant-quality every time.
4. Breakfast Sandwiches & Breakfast Burritos
Sprinkle Everything Bagel on the egg layer of your breakfast sandwich or burrito before adding cheese, meat, or vegetables. It seasons the whole structure and eliminates bland bites. If you're making a breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage, and peppers, season each element with a light hand—the final dish will be perfectly balanced.
5. Roasted Breakfast Vegetables
Roasted tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, or asparagus make excellent breakfast sides. Toss them with olive oil, season with Everything Bagel, and roast at 425°F until caramelized. The sesame adds a subtle nuttiness, and the garlic and onion keep the vegetables from tasting plain.
This is especially great if you're meal-prepping breakfast components for the week.
Bonus: Everything Bagel Breakfast Spice Mix
Want to create a custom seasoning blend for your morning routine? Mix Everything Bagel with a pinch of smoked paprika or a small sprinkle of black pepper for depth. Some people also add a tiny bit of sumac for brightness. Play around and find your favorite ratio.
Why Everything Bagel Works for Breakfast
Most breakfast foods are mild by design. Toast, eggs, potatoes, and cheese are blank canvases. Everything Bagel fills that space without overwhelming the dish—the sesame seed gives it a subtle sweetness, the garlic and onion provide savory depth, and the whole blend is sophisticated without being spicy or aggressive.
The best part? A little goes a long way. You don't need to use much to transform your breakfast from basic to crave-worthy.
