- 1 ½ cups shredded past-skim mozzarella (or other shredded cheese of your choice)
- 1 ounce low-fat cream cheese
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 large egg, whisked
- ¼ cup Everything But the Bagel Seasoning (or another bagel seasoning of your choice)
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Prep a baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper or a reusable silicone mat.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well with a spatula. Return to the microwave for another 30 seconds. The mixture should be fully melted and easily stirred.
- Add almond flour and baking powder to the cream cheese mixture. Stir to combine as much as possible.
- Add egg and stir in. At this point, the dough should become malleable. Work it in the bowl until it comes together into a ball.
- Transfer the dough onto the counter and divide it into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a log of about 7 inches (it's best to start rolling from the middle and work your way to the sides). Bring the ends together and press them into a bagel shape. You will need to work quickly while the dough is warm and pliable. If the dough hardens, return it to the microwave for another 10 to 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle the bagel seasoning onto the bagels, and press on the tops to ensure the seasoning stays. Transfer bagels onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place low-carb bagels into the oven and bake at 350 F for 15 minutes until the bagels have expanded and become golden brown. Let cool on a baking sheet for 5 minutes, and then transfer to the cookie drying rack to cool completely.
- Serve with toppings of your choice.
