Notes

Note 1. Food Processor. Use a stand mixer or handheld mixer if you don’t have a food process or blender.
Note 2. Dairy-free cream cheese. We tested this with Kite Hill dairy-free cream cheese and it worked well.
Note 3. Toasted sourdough or french baguette. Place the sliced bread on a baking sheet and brush it generously with olive oil. Bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes then broil on high for 3-4 minutes, watching carefully, until the bread is toasty and golden brown.
Note 4. Everything Baked Pretzels. Toss 4-5 cups of pretzels with 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1 Tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 2-3 Tablespoons of everything bagel seasoning. Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet and bake at 300°F for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
