What Is Everything Bagel Seasoning?
The Everything Bagel Seasoning craze started at Trader Joe's. It's a mix of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and a touch of salt—all the yummy stuff you find on everything bagels. But here's the fun part: it's not just for bagels anymore! People are putting it on everything from salads to sandwiches ---- and you guessed it EVEN these Pizza Bagel Bites! Once you try it, you'll see why it's become a kitchen must-have!
How To Make Your Own Homemade 'Everything Seasoning'
STEPS TO MAKE A HOMEMADE EVERYTHING BAGEL BLEND
When it comes to the everything bagel blend, it's all about the sesame seeds. If I'm not using a store-bought version, I definitely enjoy keeping it as original as possible with both white + black sesame seeds. However, you can use one or the other if you don't currently have both. This recipe makes ¼ cup, however, I love making a larger batch (by doubling or tripling the ingredients) and storing it in an airtight container for a longer period of time. Here are the ingredients that you need:
- 4 tsps white sesame seeds
- 2 tsps black sesame seeds
- 2 tsps poppy seeds
- 2 tsps garlic powder
- 2 tsps onion powder
- 1 tsp sea salt

Other DIY Bagel Bite Topping Ideas
When I whip up homemade bite-sized bagel pizzas, I love rummaging through the fridge to use up whatever toppings I have on hand. I keep things simple, but if you’re making these more than once and want to switch it up, here are some of my fave ideas:
- Classic pepperoni - Add mini or cut-up pieces of pepperoni.
- BBQ Chicken - Use shredded chicken with BBQ sauce
- Pesto - Spread pesto, and if you're feeling fancy add some roasted tomatoes atop!
- Hawaiian - Pineapple chunks, ham + mozzarella for a sweet and savory bite
- Spicy - Add some hot honey, jalapenos or red pepper flakes for some heat!
Can I Make Vegan Everything Pizza Bagel Bites?
Absolutely, you can make Vegan Everything Pizza Bagel Bites! Simply choose bagels that are vegan-friendly, and instead of regular dairy cheese swap it out for a vegan cheese.
My favorite brands that seem to melt are the mozzarella by Follow Your Heart or Daiya (they have a new oat milk base that melts really well) Please keep in mind that it might look and taste slightly different if using a vegan cheese.
Three Cheese Everything Pizza Bagel Bites Q + A's
Leftover pizza bites are best kept tightly wrapped in foil paper or a tightly sealed container and refrigerated for 3-4 days for optimal freshness. To reheat, simply add bites to the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through and cheese has melted.
Absolutely! Just use your favorite gluten-free bagels to make these bagel bites.
Yes, you can use any type of bagel you like. Whole wheat, everything, mini, sourdough or plain bagels all work well!
It’s best to bake them in the oven. Microwaving can make them soggy, so for the crispiest results, stick to the oven.
