Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 unit Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional for topping)
- 6 ounces Smoked salmon (lox)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese for spreading
- 0.25 unit Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute. Stir and microwave for another 30 seconds until the cheeses are completely melted and smoothly combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour and baking powder. Add the egg and melted cheese mixture, then mix well to form a dough. Knead the dough until it is smooth and all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each part into a thick log shape and connect the ends to form a bagel shape.
Place the formed bagels onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and cooked through.
Once the bagels are done, let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
Slice the keto bagels horizontally, then spread a layer of cream cheese onto each half.
Top with smoked salmon, followed by slices of red onion, a few capers, and a sprinkle of fresh dill to taste.
Serve the keto bagel with lox immediately and enjoy!
