Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheeses are melted and smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.
Add the egg to the melted cheese and mix until combined. Then add the dry ingredients to the cheese mixture and mix until it forms a dough. It will be sticky.
Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll each part into a log and shape it into a bagel by pressing the ends together.
Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let the bagels cool for a few minutes, then slice them in half horizontally.
Spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese on each bagel half.
Top each with a slice of smoked salmon, a few capers, slices of red onion, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a sprinkle of fresh dill.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb bagel with lox and cream cheese!
