Ingredients

For the Bagels

  • 2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 2 oz. cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup flaxseed meal
  • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast mixed in 2 tablespoons of warm water
  • 4 eggs

For the Everything Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons coarse salt

Instructions

For the Bagels

  • Heat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave for 60 seconds. Remove and stir, then microwave again for 40 seconds or until the cheeses are completely melted and no shreds are visible.
  • In a large bowl fitted to a stand mixer with a hook attachment, mix together the almond flour, flaxseed meal, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, yeast mixture, and 3 eggs.
  • Slowly, mix in the cheese mixture. Mix on medium speed until the dough is completely combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal parts.
  • Form each part into a ball with your hands, then flatten into a disc shape that is roughly 4-inches in diameter and 1.25-inches high.
  • Place each bagel on the lined baking sheet.
  • Use a 1.25-inch circular cookie cutter (or anything you can find that is similar - we used the cap to our sugar-free syrup bottle) to punch a hole into the center of the bagel.
  • Lightly beat the remaining egg in a small bowl and brush it on to the tops and sides of each bagel.
  • Sprinkle a generous amount of Everything Seasoning onto each bagel.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until bagels have turned golden brown.
  • Allow them to cool before slicing.

For the Everything Seasoning

  • Mix all ingredients in a small bowl.

Notes

  • Make a double batch. This recipe makes 6 bagels so if you think you'll be sharing them, you might want to double the recipe.
  • Don't use an electric handheld mixer. This dough is really sticky because of the cheeses, so the dough will stick to the beaters and it will be a mess. Instead use a stand mixer with the hook attachment or roll up your sleeves and combine the dough by hand.
  • Don't throw out the punched out bagel holes.  Bake them along with the bagels and eat them as a little snack. They will taste divine with some keto cheese dip.
  • Slice like a pro. Allow your bagels to cool completely before slicing them. Also, use a serrated knife when you are slicing bread. It makes a more even cut.
  • Store the extra seasoning. The Everything Seasoning recipe yields 1/4 cup so store any extra in a sealed container in the pantry for up to 6 months. Use it on chicken, in a salad dressing, or as a topping.
