Why You Should Fry Your Eggs in Everything Bagel Seasoning

Frying your eggs in everything bagel seasoning adds a delightful blend of flavors, including garlic, sesame seeds and poppy seeds. The one-ingredient upgrade is a great way to make sure your egg stays perfectly seasoned while you enjoy it on a bagel or a slice of toast instead of potentially sliding off your breakfast if you shake the seasoning on later. Adding the seasoning blend to the oil you're frying your eggs in also means that all the crunchy delicious bits will end up toasty and even crunchier.

How to Fry Your Eggs in Everything Bagel Seasoning

Jawad says that she puts olive oil into a hot pan and coats it in everything bagel seasoning. By doing this she says, "the seasoning gets so crispy and infuses the oil.” Then, she cracks the eggs right on top of the seasoning.

She puts a lid on the pan, which steams the top side of the egg while the bottom side fries in the seasoning and oil mixture. Once her eggs are done, she puts them on a plain toasted bagel with some mashed avocado .

“This is brilliant! I’m addicted to this seasoning!” said one commenter. "It is so good and works well on just about anything." “Love this idea,” added another fan. And one commenter took the words right out of our mouth when they called the idea “genius.”

Much like the viral feta-fried eggs , this is one of those tricks that everyone will be trying, and if you don’t like everything bagel seasoning, you can swap that out for another seasoning that you do like. Just be aware that you may not get the same crispiness because everything bagel seasoning has sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic and onion and sea salt flakes, which all have a crunchy texture to begin with.

We can see this paired with sourdough and cream cheese, made into a breakfast sandwich with an English muffin and some sausage or bacon or served on a bagel lined with lox. Come to think of it, we might also fry up a couple and try them on top of rice for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.
