Everything Bagel Seasoning Quick Facts
- Multiple creators claim invention of everything bagel seasoning, but David Gussin’s story is the most widely accepted claim to fame: he worked at Charlie’s Bagels in Queens as a teen during the early 1980s and had the idea of saving all of the fallen bagel seasonings, rather than throwing them away, to place on plain bagels
- Others who claim this invention were Joe Bastianich in 1979, Seth Godin in 1976, and Brandon Steiner in 1971
- The blend rose to major stardom with Trader Joe’s launched their version in 2017
- Each ingredient in the 6-part recipe plays an important role: poppy seeds create subtle nuttiness, dried garlic flakes give garlic notes without the harsh bite of fresh garlic, dried onion flakes give savory depth and crunch, flaked sea salt lifts all of the flavors and adds crispiness, white sesame seeds bring nutty undertones, and black sesame seeds add earthier notes
