Instructions
First preheat your oven to 400F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl add the almond flour, baking powder and xanthan gum. Mix until well combined.
In a microwave safe bowl, add the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds, remove and stir. Then repeat 2-3 more times until the mozzarella is completely melted.
Next add the almond flour mixture and the beaten eggs to the melted cheese mixture and mix.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Press a finger into the center of each ball and stretch and flatten to form a bagel shape.
Brush the top of each bagel with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning, if using.
Bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
The bagel dough will be sticky. Use a bit of cold water on your fingers to help you shape the dough.
Be sure to save a small amount of the egg to brush on the bagels before baking them.
Top the bagels with everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, coarse salt, or leave them plain.
To store, keep the bagels sealed in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer (pre-sliced and individually wrapped) for up to 3 months.
