Melt the mozzarella and cream cheese in the microwave (60-90 seconds). Or, melt on the stovetop over low heat in a non-stick pan.
In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients - almond flour, psyllium husk powder and baking powder.
Add dry ingredients plus the beaten egg to the melted mozzarella mixture. Combine with a spatula, then knead with your hands until you have a smooth dough. Alternatively, mix in a stand mixer or food processor.
Form a large dough ball and cut it into 6 segments.
Form each segment into a log (11 centimetres long). Lay them down in a circle and pinch the ends together to make bagel shapes.
Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame seeds.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.

Notes
3.4g net carbs per bagel. Makes 6 bagels.If the dough is sticky, lightly oil your hands.The dough should be room temperature when it goes in the oven. This prevents the bagels from flattening.The bagel shapes should be tall and the hole a decent size (check my images). When the bagels rise, they also spread a little. This way you ensure your end product looks good. If you're using coarse almond flour or ground almonds, increase the amount to 125 g / 1 ¼ cup. The bagels firm as they cool down. They can be reheated in the microwave or lightly toasted. You can store them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them.
