Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2: Make the Dough
Place the mozzarella and cream cheese into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for about one minute, stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds until completely melted.
Mix in the almond flour, baking powder, and egg. Stir until a smooth dough forms.
Step 3: Shape the Bagels
Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and connect the ends to create bagel shapes.
Arrange them on the prepared baking tray.
Brush each bagel with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds and everything bagel seasoning on top.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the bagels to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 5: Cook the Bacon
While the bagels bake, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy.
Transfer to paper towels.
Step 6: Cook the Eggs
Butter the skillet lightly.
Crack the eggs into the pan and cook to your preferred doneness.
Season with salt and pepper.
Top each egg with cheddar cheese and allow it to melt.
Step 7: Prepare the Sauce
Mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
Spread the sauce generously on both halves of each bagel.
