Recipe: Everything Bagel Seasoning

I used to think bagels were incredibly average – basically a white bread roll with an inconvenient hole in the middle. That was until I discovered what a real bagel tastes like. Proper bagels are boiled and then baked so that they’ve got a perfect hard exterior but still soft inside.

And then there’s the seasonings, don’t even get me started. Bagel Zone has 14 different flavours ranging from the conventional poppy seed to a unique choc chip. But the ultimate flavour will always be the everything bagel.

This recipe re-creates the toppings of an everything bagel to enjoy on anything from avo toast to salad to hummus.
