Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Mix well and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the cheese is completely melted and combined.
Add the cheese mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
Add the eggs to the dough and mix again until fully incorporated. Knead the dough with your hands if necessary to ensure it's well mixed.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Using your finger, create a hole in the center of each ball to form a bagel shape.
Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet.
Melt the butter and brush it over the tops and sides of each bagel.
Sprinkle the flaked sea salt evenly on top of each bagel.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
