Think of this as a deconstructed everything bagel with extra schmear. A little tangy from sour cream, this spread can be used as a dip for pretzels, potato chips, raw vegetables and, yes, bagel chips. But it's just as good on a sandwich — or even a bagel, if you're crazy for everything spice. One thing to note: If you're making it by hand, make sure to keep your cream cheese quite soft. It'll make things a lot easier.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, mix together the dried onion, seeds, garlic powder and flaky salt. In a medium bowl, using a whisk or an electric hand mixer, blend together the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and fluffy. Stir in all but 1 tablespoon of spice mixture.

  2. Step 2

    Eat at once, or refrigerate for 15 minutes or up to 5 days for dip to thicken and flavors to meld. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon spice mixture, and serve chips, vegetables or pretzels.

Tip

  • If you're making it by hand, make sure to keep your cream cheese quite soft. It'll make things a lot easier.

I think this would be even easier using Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel mix instead of buying the seasonings individually.

Karen

I suspect that Trader Joe's "Everything But The Bagel" spice mix can be used instead of all the other spices--and then just enhanced to taste. This would then make this recipe super-easy.

andrea

sure- go buy it. but why not make it yourself and make it your own tailor made recipe? then reuse a jar so there's less landfill. Isn't that what home cooking can be about? Learn a skill, save money, teach someone else about cooking.

I served this at a party, and I’ve never seen something disappear so quickly. People practically dove head first into the bowl. This is shockingly good (and easy). I *love* the fennel seed. I will be serving this at many a party in the future.

DELICIOUS dip and easy to put together-I used pre-mixed Everything Bagel seasoning-you can find it in so many stores now. Really great!

muffin notes

Their mix does not have hot red pepper flakes in it
