Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the cheese is completely melted and combined smoothly (about 1 minute total).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, sea salt, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients. Break the egg into the bowl and add the sliced jalapenos. Stir the mixture until a sticky dough forms. You may need to knead it with your hands once it is cool enough to handle.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each piece into a ball and then form into a bagel shape by flattening slightly and making a hole in the center with your fingers.
Place the formed bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with shredded cheddar cheese and sesame seeds, if desired.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm as is or toasted under the broiler for extra crispness.
