Instructions:
Preheat oven to 190°C (fan 170°C) or Gas Mark 5. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Melt the cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then heat for another 30–60 seconds until fully melted and combined.
Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour and baking powder.
Combine: Add the dry mix to the melted cheese mixture. Add one egg and mix thoroughly (you may need to knead it slightly with your hands once it’s cool enough).
Form bagels: Divide dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each into a ball, then into a sausage shape and join ends to form a bagel. Place on baking tray.
Brush and top: Beat the second egg and brush over the bagels. Sprinkle with your preferred toppings.
Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden and firm.
