Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 2.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 Egg, beaten for brushing
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (for topping)
• 8 ounces Smoked salmon
• 2 tablespoons Capers
• 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 Lemon wedges
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the shredded mozzarella and 2 ounces of cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and microwave for an additional 20-30 seconds, until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

Quickly add the flour mixture and 2 large eggs to the melted cheese, mixing quickly until a dough forms and is well combined. If the dough is sticky, you can knead it with your hands slightly damp.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a bagel (a small circle with a hole in the middle) then place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Brush each bagel with the beaten egg to ensure a shiny, golden crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Allow the bagels to cool slightly before slicing.

Step 8

To assemble, split each bagel horizontally. Spread about 2 ounces of cream cheese on the bottom half of each bagel.

Step 9

Top with smoked salmon slices, a few capers, and some thinly sliced red onion.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh dill and serve with a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing over the top.

Step 11

Enjoy your low-carb bagel creation as a delightful brunch or lunch option.
