a few tips…
You’ll notice that we didn’t include salt and pepper on the ingredients list for this simple dip. In the original version, I added a bit of extra salt, and it put the saltiness level over the top just a bit. The ingredients on their own and the addition of chips already have a fair amount of salt included. If you are a fan of pepper, feel free to add a bit.
This dip is meant to imitate however you like to eat your everything bagel. We’ve included capers and dill and shallots. You can feel free to leave any of these out (though I don’t recommend it since the dip is so delicious as is). You could also add things like lox or tomatoes or cucumber to your dip if that’s how you eat your bagel.
what should i serve with this everything bagel dip?
The obvious choice to serve with this yummy dip is bagel chips. Our favorite are Stacy’s brand toasted garlic bagel chips. Of course, you can use actual pieces of bagels, crackers, tortilla chips, pita crackers or chips, crusty bread or whatever you have on hand. I was thinking that this would also be good with some sliced cucumbers.
what if i can’t find fresh herbs?
You can always substitute dried herbs for fresh, but it will affect the flavor. Trust me, it’s worth the extra expense to grab some fresh herbs (or even grow your own). If replacing fresh herbs with dried, use only about 1/3 as much.
do we have a preferred cream cheese brand?
Yes!!! I understand that this is a personal preference, but I always use Philadelphia cream cheese (even though Philly is our sports rival here in Pittsburgh). There’s just something about the taste. That being said, any cream cheese brand will work just fine. So, stick with your favorite brand when making this dip.
