Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (fresh or low-moisture)
- 2 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- Parmesan cheese (shredded, for topping)
- Flavor Gods Garlic Seasoning (or your favorite garlic seasoning)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Melt the Cheese
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 oz of cream cheese. Microwave on high for 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until the cheeses are fully melted and combined into a smooth mixture. Be careful not to overheat.
Step 3: Prepare the Dough
In a separate large mixing bowl, crack the 2 eggs and whisk them until well combined. Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1.5 cups of almond flour to the eggs. Mix until smooth.
Next, add the melted cheese mixture to the egg and flour mixture. Stir until the ingredients form a dough. The dough may be slightly sticky; this is normal.
Step 4: Shape the Bagels
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long log shape (about 6-8 inches in length) on a clean, dry surface. Carefully shape each log into a circle, pressing the ends together to form bagels. Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Add Toppings
Brush the tops of the bagels with 1 tablespoon of melted butter for added flavor and richness. Generously sprinkle Parmesan cheese and garlic seasoning over the tops of the bagels.
Step 6: Bake the Bagels
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the bagels from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Slice the bagels in half and serve warm with whipped cream cheese, butter, or your favorite low-carb spread.
