That iconic bagel-shop topping is surprisingly easy to recreate at home, and this version keeps things beautifully simple. Store-bought blends can be a minefield if you're avoiding added spices, since many brands sneak in paprika, chili flakes, or other seasonings that have no business being in there. This homemade mix sticks to the classics — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and a pinch of flaky sea salt — so you know exactly what you're getting in every pinch. The combination of toasty, nutty, and savory hits every note you want without a single hidden ingredient to worry about. It comes together in about a minute with just a bowl and a spoon, and a sealed jar keeps it fresh for up to three months. Sprinkle it over avocado toast, eggs, roasted vegetables, or cream cheese and you'll wonder why you ever bought the pre-made stuff.
