Kitchen Notes + Tips

  • Thoroughly soften the cream cheese at room temperature before combining it to achieve a smooth, luscious texture.
  • Using a hand mixer will really give you a silky texture. 
  • Adjust the sour cream and mayonnaise ratio to reach your desired consistency. More sour cream will lighten the dip, while more mayonnaise will enrich it.
  • Taste the everything bagel dip before serving, and adjust by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to enhance flavor.
  • For optimum flavor, refrigerate the dip for at least an hour to let the ingredients meld, then serve.

Variations Or Addition

  • Add a kick with chili flakes for spiciness or freshly crushed black pepper for a hint of heat and texture.
  • Substitute plain Greek or regular yogurt for sour cream to lighten the dip’s texture.
  • Go bold by adding ½ – 1 teaspoon of minced garlic – just avoid it for date night! lol
  • Use jalapeno or pickle juice instead of lemon juice for bright acidity and tanginess.
