Ingredients

3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons cream cheese
3/4 cup almond flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
Salt, to taste
Nonstick cooking spray, as needed

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese for 1 minute. Stir well, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds until fully melted and combined.
Step 3: Add the almond flour, egg, and a pinch of salt to the cheese mixture. Mix gently until the dough is thoroughly combined.
Step 4: If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle in a little more almond flour. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up, or freeze for 5 minutes if short on time.
Step 5: Divide the chilled dough into 6 equal balls, then roll each ball into a log shape.
Step 6: Spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray. Wrap each dough log around the pan’s indentations to form bagel shapes. Sprinkle each with everything bagel seasoning.
Step 7: Bake the bagels for 15 minutes until they turn golden brown. Let them cool slightly before removing from the pan.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add garlic powder or dried herbs to the dough before baking.
Use different bagel seasoning blends or create your own mix with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and dried onion.
If you don’t have a donut pan, shape the dough into rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Make sure to refrigerate the dough well so it’s easier to handle and shapes hold better.

Storage

Store the bagels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, warm them in a toaster oven or regular oven for a few minutes to restore their crispness. They also freeze well—thaw at room temperature and reheat before serving.

How to Serve

Four golden brown bagels with a slightly rough texture are arranged in a small pile on a white plate with a thin black rim. Each bagel is topped with white sesame seeds and some black seasoning, giving a speckled look. The bagels have a soft, slightly uneven surface with small browned spots, indicating they are baked. A few sesame seeds are scattered on the plate around the bagels. The plate rests on a white marbled surface with light grey veins, adding a clean and simple background.

FAQs

Can I use other types of cheese instead of mozzarella?

Mozzarella is best for this recipe because it melts smoothly and creates the right texture. Using other cheeses may alter the dough’s consistency and the final bagel’s chewiness.

Are these bagels gluten-free?

Yes, these fathead bagels use almond flour instead of wheat flour, making them gluten-free and suitable for those avoiding gluten.
