Yields 6 servings of Low Carb Bagels
The Preparation
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 3 ounces cream cheese, diced
- 2 large egg
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
The Execution
1. Measure out and prepare all of the ingredients. Preheat oven to 425F and place parchment paper on a baking sheet.
2. In a bowl, add almond flour, baking powder, garlic salt, and black pepper. Whisk this all together.
3. In a microwave bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Place in the microwave for 1 minute, take out and stir, then place back in the microwave for another minute.
4. Remove from microwave and stir until combined well.
5. Pour the almond flour mixture into the mozzarella and cream cheese mixture. Add in the eggs.
6. With clean hands, knead the dough until it starts to become thick. Kneading will take a few minutes but the dough will start to take form when the cheese mixture starts to cool.
7. On the baking pan with parchment paper, make a bagel shape by evenly dividing the mixture and making a circle with a hole in the middle. Add the everything bagel seasoning on top of the bagels. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 – 15 minutes.
8. When the bagels are golden brown in color, they are ready! To serve, slice in half and spread with cream cheese. Enjoy!
