I have heard about this Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend for years on Weight Watcher chats but alas, it is only available in the States. Since we now always fly to our vacation destinations south I don't get the chance to browse and stock up in the grocery stores like I used to when we took the kids on road trips. However, thanks to the king of online shopping, Amazon, I was finally able to order a couple of jars of this much talked about flavourful topping I was anxious to try.
My order arrived the next day (I only got regular free shipping so I was so surprised!) and I couldn't wait to try the blend. It is a mix of sesame seeds (white, black, and toasted, it appears), salt, garlic, and onion flakes. I had seen it sprinkled on avocado toast on the Today Show and that was going to be my first taste. Excellent! It is very garlicky! Next I added it on top of my 2-ingredient bagels (you can read about those in THIS POST). Also fab, just like an 'everything bagel'. The label suggests using it everywhere and on a plain bagel smeared with cream cheese. I could do that! Sure, I realize you could easily make up one's own blend but I wanted to try the original first to evaluate the ratio of ingredients.
So a big thumbs up for the amazing Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend. It is available in the U.S. at Trader Joe's or you can shell out a whopping CDN$13.50 plus tax to order it from Amazon. I know each jar will last quite a while and because of my impressionable and impatient nature, ordering was inevitable. I will definitely throw a couple in my suitcase the next time I'm in the States and have a car. I don't know how much a bottle costs AT Trader Joe's but I'm sure it is a lot less than $15. Until then, I will enjoy that everything bagel flavour on everything possible until my supply is gone.
