Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 Egg, beaten for brushing
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (for topping)
- 8 ounces Smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 Lemon wedges
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the shredded mozzarella and 2 ounces of cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and microwave for an additional 20-30 seconds, until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
Quickly add the flour mixture and 2 large eggs to the melted cheese, mixing quickly until a dough forms and is well combined. If the dough is sticky, you can knead it with your hands slightly damp.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a bagel (a small circle with a hole in the middle) then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each bagel with the beaten egg to ensure a shiny, golden crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the bagels to cool slightly before slicing.
To assemble, split each bagel horizontally. Spread about 2 ounces of cream cheese on the bottom half of each bagel.
Top with smoked salmon slices, a few capers, and some thinly sliced red onion.
Garnish with fresh dill and serve with a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing over the top.
Enjoy your low-carb bagel creation as a delightful brunch or lunch option.
