Ingredients
🧀 Cream cheese - Creates the creamy, rich base for this dip. Soften it at room temperature for easy blending and a smooth texture.
🥣 Sour cream - Lightens the cream cheese and adds a mild tang that balances the flavors.
🥄 Mayonnaise - Adds richness and helps give the dip a silky, spreadable consistency.
🥯 Everything bagel seasoning - The signature flavor! A mix of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, onion, and salt gives the dip that classic everything bagel taste.
🧅 Onion soup mix - Like Lipton Recipe Secrets, adds savory depth and a boost of flavor to the creamy base.
🌿 Dried dill - Brings a hint of freshness and herby flavor that complements the onion and garlic notes.
🌱 Chives (or green onions) - Add a light onion flavor and a pop of color. Fresh or freeze-dried both work well.
🫙 Worcestershire sauce - Enhances the overall flavor with a touch of umami.

How to make everything bagel dip
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix with a fork until smooth and creamy.
- Add the Onion soup mix, everything bagel seasoning, dried dill, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until fully blended.
- Fold in the chopped chives and mix until evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.
Stir the dip before serving, then transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprinkle of seasoning and chives. Serve with bagel chips, veggies, or potato chips.
Substitutions and variations
- Lower-fat options: You can use light cream cheese, sour cream, or mayonnaise, but keep in mind the consistency may be thinner and the flavor slightly less rich.
- Chives: Freeze-dried or dried chives work well in place of fresh. They'll soften as the dip sits in the fridge.
- Worcestershire sauce: Substitute with soy sauce for a similar umami flavor, or omit it altogether if preferred.
- Onion soup mix: No mix on hand? Use a combination of onion powder and garlic powder for a milder flavor. Start with ⅛ teaspoon each, then adjust to taste.
Storing instructions
Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving, as the ingredients may settle slightly during refrigeration.
For food safety, do not leave it out at room temperature longer than 2 hours. If the temperature is over 90°F, that time reduces to 1 hour. For more information on food storage and safety guidelines, visit the U.S. Department of Agriculture and foodsafety.gov.
