Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir the mixture until well combined.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add shredded mozzarella and 2 ounces of cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted, stirring halfway through.
Mix the melted cheese with the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and knead until you form a dough. This dough can be a little sticky—use a bit of almond flour on your hands if needed.
Divide the dough into four even parts. Roll each section into a ball and then shape into a bagel by creating a hole in the center with your finger and stretching it slightly.
Place the formed bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Once the bagels are baked, let them cool for a couple of minutes. Slice each bagel in half.
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on the bottom half of each bagel, layer with crispy bacon, and top with the other half of the bagel.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb bagels!
