This everything bagel cheese omelet is one of those breakfasts that feels a little special but takes almost no effort. It’s warm, savory, slightly crunchy from the toast, and packed with flavor thanks to the everything bagel seasoning. If you love eggs and cream cheese (who doesn’t?), this is an easy recipe you’ll come back to again and again.
What I love most about this omelet is that it uses very basic ingredients, the kind you probably already have at home, yet the end result feels café-worthy.

The Star Ingredient
Everything bagel seasoning is a bold, savory blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and salt. It offers the perfect balance of crunch and umami, instantly adding depth and flavor to just about anything. If you can’t find it at the store, you can easily make it at home. The best part? You can play around with the proportions to suit your taste. Below, you’ll find a simple recipe to get started.

Substitutions and Variations
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into the bowl, add a pinch of salt and black pepper and whisk until combined.
- Heat a non stick pan on medium heat and add a few knobs of butter
- Toast the bread on both sides in the pan with the melted butter flipping as needed until toasted and remove and set aside.
- Place the non-stick pan back over medium heat and add a small knob of butter. Let it melt and gently coat the pan.
- Pour the eggs into the pan and let them set slightly. As the edges cook, gently push them toward the center with a spatula so the uncooked egg flows outward.
- Run the spatula around the edges to make sure the omelet isn’t sticking.
- Once the eggs are mostly set but still soft on top add the cheddar cheese & a generous amount of the everything bagel seasoning in the middle of the omelet.
- Gently fold the omelet rolling it over for another 30-60 seconds making sure is just amount melted and the eggs are cooked but not burnt.
- Spread the cream cheese on top of the toasted bread and I like to add a pinch of the everything bagel seasoning to the top of the cream cheese.
- Take you folded omelet and slide it gently onto your toasted bread with the covered cream cheese.
- Top with sliced avocado or mashed if you desire
Recipe Tips
Use medium heat to keep the omelette soft and fluffy, not dry.
Add the cheese while the eggs are still slightly soft so it melts smoothly.
Everything bagel seasoning is strong, so start with a light sprinkle and adjust to taste.
Butter gives the best flavor, just don’t let it brown.
Cream cheese option: add a few small dollops of cream cheese along with the cheddar for an extra creamy, bagel-style flavor.
Season the avocado lightly with salt or everything bagel seasoning to bring everything together.
