That satisfying crunch and savory punch you get from a well-topped bagel is completely achievable at home with just a handful of pantry staples. Store-bought seasoning blends can be sneaky — some brands add anti-caking agents or flavor enhancers that may contain synthetic dyes or other additives you'd rather avoid. This homemade version keeps things beautifully simple: white and black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and flaky sea salt — nothing more, nothing less. Stirring it all together takes about thirty seconds, and the result is a fragrant, textured blend that looks just as good as it tastes. Sprinkle it on eggs, avocado toast, roasted vegetables, or cream cheese and crackers for an instant upgrade. Stored in an airtight jar, it keeps for up to three months, so you can make a batch and reach for it all week long without a second thought.
