Bagel Dip Recipe FAQs

Can I make bagel dip ahead of time?

Yes, you can easily make bagel dip in advance. Simply prepare and store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add garnishes like olive oil and extra seasoning right before serving for maximum freshness and appeal.

How long will bagel dip keep in the refrigerator?

Bagel dip stays fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Give it a quick stir before serving to restore its creamy texture.

Can I substitute regular yogurt for Greek yogurt? 

Greek yogurt is recommended due to its thicker texture, but regular yogurt will also work. If using regular yogurt, your dip will be slightly thinner but still delicious.

Do I have to use Greek Yogurt?

I highly recommend it for the best dip, but you don't have to use it. You can make 3 ingredient bagel dip and just use extra cream cheese instead.

What else can I serve with bagel dip?

Bagel dip pairs wonderfully with a variety of snacks, including fresh vegetable sticks, pretzels, pita bread, bagel chips, crackers, and toasted baguette slices. It also makes a tasty sandwich or wrap spread.
