Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir well to blend the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
Melt the coconut oil and add it to the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten slightly and poke a hole in the center to create a bagel shape.
Place the bagels onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the top with poppy seeds for added flavor and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing.
Once the bagels have cooled, slice them in half horizontally and layer with uncured ham, dairy-free cheese slices, lettuce, tomato, and avocado.
Serve the Paleo Ham and Cheese Bagels immediately and enjoy!
