Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and then heat for an additional 30 seconds if needed, until the cheeses are completely melted and combined.
Add 1 cup of almond flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of onion powder to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until well combined.
Add the egg to the dough mixture and mix until a dough forms. It may be sticky at first; knead with your hands until smooth. If needed, wet your hands slightly to handle the dough better.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then shape into a bagel form, making sure there is a hole in the center.
Place the bagels onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the top of each bagel with sesame seeds, pressing gently to adhere them to the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown.
Remove bagels from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
Slice each bagel in half horizontally. Place 1 slice of Swiss cheese and 1 slice of ham on the bottom half of each bagel. Top with the remaining half of the bagel.
Optional: To melt the cheese, you can place the assembled bagels back into the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese starts to melt.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Keto Ham and Cheese Bagels!
