Made with almond flour, these cheese bagels are keto, gluten-free and seriously delicious! Made from scratch, these homemade bagels are simple and easy to make and perfect for breakfast, lunches, sandwiches and sides.
Preheat the oven to 320 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a baking mat.
Beat 3 eggs in a medium bowl and add baking powder, garlic powder,m dried oregano, salt and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
Place mozzarella in a saucepan with olive oil. Then place it over the stove and stir until it melts. You can also melt it in the microwave.
Place beaten eggs and melted mozzarella in a high speed food processor. Pulse to combine; this will result in a smooth batter.
Transfer the batter to a medium bowl and add the almond flour. Stir until a soft dough.
Form the bagels by shaping a ball, then press it down until it flattens a bit and finally make a hole in the middle. It's helpful to grease your hands with some drops of oil so it doesn't stick too much to your hands.
Set the bagels on the prepared baking tray.
Beat the egg yolk and brush them all to give them a pretty golden appearance.
Spread some shredded cheddar cheese all over the bagels.
Bake them for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Use the toothpick test to check if they're well baked.
Let them cool before transferring.
Notes
Instead of a food processor, you can use a stand mixer or regular electric mixer with the dough hook.
You can keep these bagels in a Ziploc bag for up to three days or one week in the fridge. After a few days, they’ll lose tenderness, though. Then, to improve their texture, reheat them before serving.
These keto bagels are perfect for breakfast/lunch as you can add a salad filling, scrambled eggs, avocado, or favorite filling.
Texture-wise, they aren’t cheesy. This recipe uses mozzarella cheese as a binder, and then they're topped with cheddar cheese. That’s why they're “Cheese Bagels", similar to the Asiago Bagels from Panera bread.
