Here are some commonly asked questions
What is in everything but the bagel seasoning?
Everything bagel seasoning contains sesame seeds, poppy seeds, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. It has become quite popular originally as a bagel seasoning and then Trader Joe’s decided to sell it as a stand-alone product which went crazy. People love it.
With this dip – it’s no secret that cream cheese, bagels, and green onions are the perfect mix. The list of ingredients varies, but you can find everything but bagel seasoning in stuff like this.
What flavor variations can be made with this?
I love this recipe because of its versatility and how many different ways we can change it up. Try mixing in diced green chilies, jalapenos, hot sauce, chicken, ground or smoked sausage, chili powder, paprika, diced bell or sweet peppers and so much more.
Can you freeze everything bagel dip?
Because of the dairy in the recipe, I don’t recommend freezing this dip. It can be made 1-2 days ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use.

How long is everything bagel dip good for?
Most dairy-based dips can stay fresh for up to 7-10 days if kept properly refrigerated.
I like to use this dip within 1-2 days because it is sitting out for at least 30 minutes at a time when serving. This makes it difficult to know if it is maintaining the proper temperature needed for keeping it beyond 1-2 days.

Can this be made with Greek yogurt?
You bet! If you want to lighten up the recipe – you can swap out the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt. You can also use low-fat cream cheese – just keep in mind that the less fat you have in the recipe, the less creamy it will be. The fat is a large component of the texture of the end product.

Yes, you can make a hot bagel dip. This is especially easy in the slow cooker. Just toss all of the ingredients (except the green onions) in the slow cooker and cook on low for 1-2 hours – making sure to stir frequently until hot and bubbly.
