An everything bagel is a type of bagel baked with a mix of toppings. The exact ingredients vary, but recipes often include garlic flakes, onion flakes, poppy seeds, sesame seeds and kosher salt. The bagels are made with regular dough, and the name is independent of additional fillings such as cream cheese.

The everything bagel inspired the creation of other food items with similar toppings, including bagel chips, croissants, rolls, roti, pasta, and mixed nuts. Pre-made mixes of everything bagel seasoning are also available.

Many bakeries and fast-casual restaurants offer the Everything bagel. Its origins are disputed, but it was likely first created sometime between 1973 and 1980.
