Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 8 ounces Lox (smoked salmon)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 0.5 small, sliced thin Red onion
- 0.5 large, sliced into wedges Lemon
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh dill
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is melted and combined smoothly.
Quickly add the melted cheese into the almond flour mixture along with the whisked eggs. Stir using a spatula until the dough forms. You may need to use your hands to knead the dough until everything is well incorporated.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Flatten slightly and use your thumb to create a hole in the center of each ball, making them resemble a bagel.
Place the bagels onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Once baked, remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
To assemble, split the bagels in half. Spread each side generously with cream cheese.
Top with slices of lox, a few capers, slivers of red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh dill.
Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an additional zest and enjoy your low-carb classic bagel with lox!
