Low Carb Bacon And Onion Bagel
These soft and doughy Keto bagels are loaded with fats and flavor from cheese and crispy bacon. The bagels are prepared with a cheesy fathead dough before being oven baked until golden. These make a great guilt free bread substitute.
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over a low/medium heat. Finely dice the onion and add to the skillet. Cook gently until tender, golden and starting to crisp at the edges. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set to one side.
Step 2
Add the bacon to the skillet. Cook through until crisp and golden on both sides. Set aside to cool, then chop into small chunks.
Step 3
Add the ground almonds, coconut flour, flaxseed, onion powder, baking soda, black pepper, salt, and erythritol to a food processor. Blend together until well combined. At this stage you can use an alternative sweetener if desired or omit entirely if preferred.
Step 4
Add the grated cheese to a microwaveable bowl. Microwave briefly until the cheese has completely melted. Alternatively, you can set the bowl over a double boiler on the stove and heat through until melted. Add the melted cheese and cream cheese to the food processor. Blend together until well combined. You should have a chunky crumb consistency.
Step 5
Crack the egg into the food processor. Add the almond milk, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Blend again until well combined and a dough forms. The dough should hold together well and will be slightly tacky.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped bacon and cooked onion and knead into the dough mixture so they are evenly spread throughout.
Step 7
Line a shallow oven tray with baking paper. Turn the dough out onto the lined oven tray. Divide into four even portions.
Step 8
Roll the dough into balls and push your thumb gently through the middle to create a hole. Mould the dough carefully into bagel shapes and arrange across the tray.
Step 9
Lightly brush the bagels all over with the remaining olive oil. Transfer to the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes or until completely cooked through and golden brown all over. Set to one side to cool before serving.
