bagel chips; everything bagel dip;

Here’s another great simple party dip, peeeeerfect for a brunch potluck!  Good thing we had one for New Year’s Eve!  Really super simple, and quite tasty!

The amped up touch to this dip, in my opinion, was the fresh bagel chips I made. Now of course you can do regular chips or store-bought bagel chips, but then I’ve seen less options of varieties of bagel chips at the store than you can get at your local bagel shop!  Plus we have an amazing bagel shop less than 10 minutes away.
Because the dip is cream cheese based (as one would expect from a bagel dip), I went for more of the savory side of things, but threw in cinnamon raisin for good measure. The other two were jalapeno cheddar and tomato basil. I thought it was a nice variety and added some fresh color to the arrangement!

For the dip, the traditional mix of black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion flakes, garlic flakes, salt, and sometimes carroway seeds is added to a mix of yogurt and cream cheese. Now I already had to buy black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and carroway seeds and I didn’t really feel like buying flaked garlic or flaked onion, so I just opted for the onion powder and garlic powder I have in my spice drawer. I do think sprinkling some of those on top would have made the dish a little more identifiable, but I don’t think it was necessary. Everyone still enjoyed the dip!
