Everything Toasted Pierogies are the perfect solution for easy entertaining or satisfying last-minute snack cravings. With crispy edges and that iconic everything bagel flavor, these are always a crowd-pleaser any time of year. The quick tangy chive mustard sauce sends them over the top for dipping.
I whipped these up for a family movie night and everyone kept reaching for seconds. They never last long in our house because the flavor is seriously addicting.

The everything spice is by far my favorite part because it transforms a basic pierogi into something crave-worthy. I remember serving these at my niece’s birthday and they were gone before I could even grab one for myself
Storage Tips
Cooked pierogies can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to regain their crispy texture. I do not recommend microwaving as they lose their crunch
Ingredient Substitutions
If you do not have everything spice you can mix your own with sesame seeds dried garlic dried onion poppy seeds and a pinch of salt. Greek yogurt works as a substitute for sour cream if you want a tangier or lighter dip
Serving Suggestions
Serve hot as a party appetizer game day snack or as a fun dinner with a green salad. I love adding extra chopped chives and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for presentation
