Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 5 ounces cream cheese
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
• 4 ounces additional cream cheese
• 4 ounces smoked salmon (lox)
• 2 tablespoons capers
• 0.25 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 piece lemon (sliced for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt together until well combined.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and 5 ounces of cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients. Crack the egg into the bowl and mix everything thoroughly. You might find it easier to knead the dough with your hands as it becomes thick.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball, then form each into a bagel shape by pressing your fingers through the center and stretching to widen the hole.

Step 6

Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle the tops with everything bagel seasoning.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Allow the bagels to cool slightly. Slice each bagel in half.

Step 9

Spread 1 ounce of cream cheese on the bottom half of each bagel.

Step 10

Top each with 1 ounce of smoked salmon, a few capers, and slices of red onion.

Step 11

Garnish with a slice of lemon, and serve immediately.
