You will LOVE low carb bagels with bacon scallion cream cheese!
Bagels are the best! However, waiting in a long line at a bakery–not so great. In addition, not many bakeries out there have keto-friendly bagels in stock when you crave them the most. With our recipe, you can skip the line (and keep it low carb!) by making your very own homemade bagels. You won't believe how easy it is! Who knew that you could follow a keto diet and still get to eat bagels with bacon scallion cream cheese?! Low carb diets just got a whole lot better thanks to this recipe.
There are so many ways you can serve up this delicious breakfast dish–even the pickiest eaters can find something that suits their taste buds. Today, we're going to check out this bagel recipe that's topped with a tasty bacon scallion cream cheese spread. If you love bacon (who doesn't?!), then you will definitely want to try out this low carb breakfast idea.
Let's start with how we make the bagel itself low carb. You'll notice that the bagel is compromised of coconut flour, almond flour, psyllium husk, and a bit of baking powder. Coconut flour and almond flour serve as great alternatives to traditional white flour. Psyllium husk works to give that bread-like texture you want without the additional carbs. It is an ingredient you won't want to skip as it really does give the bagels the perfect texture. This is just another example of how you can still eat a variety of foods so long as you make a few low carb substitutions. It's so easy and you never have to miss out on the foods you love just because you are trying to follow a low carb lifestyle.
Of course, flavor matters no matter what diet you are following. Don't worry though, this low carb breakfast recipe has it! You won't believe how delicious these bagels really are. This recipe actually has a melted cheese cooked right into the bagel. It's like the best bagel ever! YOu would likely be very happy just eating these bagels plain but we have added even more flavor.
If the cheese inside the bagel wasn't enough, the bacon scallion cream cheese topping definitely takes the flavor to the next level. The cream cheese is simple to make, all you need to do is mix a few ingredients together. You may want to make some extra cream cheese because it makes a tasty dip as well! However, spread on top of our amazing, cheesy keto bagels, you will have a flavor-packed breakfast! This is the type of dish that not only cures your hunger but totally satisfies any of your keto cravings!
Whether you're looking for a way to spice up your regular breakfast menu, or you want something to serve up at your next brunch, this is the recipe for you! In just over thirty minutes, you can sink your teeth into a homemade bagel that is bakery-worthy status.
