Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt until well combined.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are fully melted and combined into a smooth mixture.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the almond flour mixture, along with the two eggs. Mix well using your hands or a silicone spatula until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky but should hold together.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly and use your thumb to poke a hole through the center to form a bagel shape.
Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush each bagel with the egg wash.
Sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top of each bagel for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the bagels to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
