FAQs

Can I Substitute Sour Cream With Something Else?

Yes, you can! Plain Greek yogurt is a great alternative to sour cream if you’re looking for a lower-fat option while retaining the tangy flavors.

What if I Can’t Find Bagel Seasoning?

If Trader Joe’s or your local grocery store is out of bagel seasoning, you can make a homemade version with poppy seeds, black and white sesame seeds, sea salt, garlic powder, and onion flakes.

Tips and Tricks

  • Room Temperature: For a smoother dip, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.

  • Hand Mixer: A hand mixer helps to thoroughly combine the ingredients, but a good old-fashioned wooden spoon works too. Just make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl.

  • Taste Test: Before serving, taste the dip and add additional seasoning based on your personal preference.

I got curious myself and went on their website to read more about this seasoning blend: “Everything but the Bagel Seasoning is a unique mixture of crunchy toppings that can add zest to anything you sprinkle it on.”

It has turmeric in the mix which is known for having anti-inflammatory properties. Everything But The Bagel also carries other spice blends such as cajun, chili lime and raspberry chipotle. Pretty cool!

Variations

  • Vegan Version: Substitute dairy products with vegan cream cheese and a plant-based sour cream.

  • Low Carb: To make it low-carb, use full-fat ingredients and pair with fresh vegetables like celery sticks and baby carrots as your favorite dippers.

  • Spinach Artichoke Twist: Incorporate elements of spinach artichoke dip for a unique flavor blend.

Where to Serve

This bagel dip is the perfect appetizer for a big party, game day, or even as an afternoon snack. It pairs well with plain bagels, air fryer bagel chips, pita chips, and fresh vegetables like carrot sticks.

Storage

To store, place the dip in an airtight container and wrap the top with plastic wrap. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to five days.

It’s really popular here in NYC. I love the version from Trader’s Joes but many brands make it. I am sure it’s available in supermarkets everywhere.

I love cream cheese and I am always looking for excuses to eat more of it so when the opportunity arises, I get all excited! I can’t lie.

Common Problems and How to Avoid Them

  • Too Thick: If the dip is too thick, you can thin it out with a bit of lemon juice or an extra dollop of sour cream.

  • Not Flavorful Enough: Onion powder and garlic powder are great additions if you find the dip lacking in flavor.

Tips for Making This Recipe with Kids

The best part of this easy recipe is that it’s a great way to involve the kids. Let them measure out the ingredients and use a hand mixer under supervision. It’s a fun way to introduce them to new recipes and flavors.

Topping Options

  • Green Onions: A sprinkle of chopped green onions adds color and zing.

  • Additional Bagel Seasoning: A little bottle of extra bagel sesame seasoning blend on top elevates the bagel dip taste even further.

  • French Fries: For an indulgent twist, serve it as a dip for french fries or potato chips.

And what’s not to like? Creamy, salty and a little spicy from the jalapeno peppers. There are bits of pepper and scallion in there too which add some crunch and creaminess at the same time.

Eat with tortilla chips or toast points and you will be happy as a clam!
