Everything Bagels… in dip form! Turn your favorite breakfast into an appetizer with this easy 3-ingredient dip. Perfect for parties, game days, or anytime you’re craving that everything bagel flavor!
When it comes to appetizers, dips are boss. And you can’t beat a recipe that’s just 3 ingredients… especially when it’s as delicious as this Everything Bagel Dip!
We’ve always loved our everything bagels… sliced, toasted and slathered with cream cheese. So I started to think why not turn one of our favorite breakfasts into a fun and easy appetizer!?
A creamy combination of cream cheese, sour cream, and everything bagel seasoning, it comes together in just 5 minutes and is absolutely delicious with bagel chips, pretzels, veggies, bread, or ANY of your favorite dippers!
Ingredients
Cream cheese – The base of this dip is 8 ounces of softened cream cheese. I used full fat, but you can feel free to substitute a lighter variety if you prefer.
Sour cream – 1 cup of sour cream helps make this dip smooth and dippable. I used full fat sour cream, which is the thickest and most creamy variety. If you choose to substitute a lower fat version, you may need to use 1/4 cup less.
Everything Bagel Seasoning – Finally, the seasoning! I used 2 Tablespoons of Everything Bagel Seasoning, which is available in the spice aisle at most grocery stores. You may want to start with 1 Tablespoon and add more to taste (I like mine popping with flavor!)
How to make Everything Bagel Dip
Soften the cream cheese – Softened (room temperature) cream cheese is essential for any creamy dip in order for it to blend properly. Be sure to let it sit out at room temperature for 1-2 hours OR soften it in the microwave, being careful not to melt.
Combine the cream cheese & sour cream – In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Mix on medium speed with a hand mixer until combined, then turn the mixer to high and mix until light and fluffy (about 1 minute).
Stir in the seasoning – Stir in the Everything Bagel Seasoning, starting with 1 Tablespoon and adding more to taste.
Garnish & serve – Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with green onions or additional seasoning. Enjoy with bagel chips, pretzel flats, veggies, or crackers.

Mine didn’t get that fluffy. It was kinda hot in my house. It has the consistency of sour cream. Hoping it will bulk up in the fridge. I’m taking it to a potluck tomorrow.
Cathy Trochelman says
Oh no! My guess is the cream cheese was too soft to begin with. Hopefully it thickened up in the fridge?
