Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, mix the warm water, instant yeast, olive oil, and honey. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then add them to the yeast mixture.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until the dough begins to come together. It will be slightly sticky.
Fold in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving 1/4 cup for topping.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Flatten slightly, then use your thumb to make a hole in the center of each to form a bagel shape.
Bring a large pot with 4 cups of water to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and gently place each bagel into the water, one at a time. Boil for about 1 minute on each side.
Remove the bagels from the water using a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the top of each bagel with the remaining cheddar cheese and optional sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the bagels are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free cheese bagels warm or toasted!
