Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 4 ounces cream cheese, for topping
- 8 ounces smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, and salt together.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 ounces of cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are completely melted and combined.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the almond flour mixture, along with the two eggs. Mix thoroughly to form a dough. If it is too sticky to handle, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a log, and then form into a circle to create the bagel shape, pinching the ends together.
Place the bagels onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the bagels to cool slightly before slicing each one in half horizontally.
Spread approximately 1 ounce of cream cheese on the cut side of each bagel half.
Layer with smoked salmon, a few capers, and slices of red onion.
Garnish with fresh dill and serve immediately.
