When we’ve gone on low carb diets, the one meal I am always stuck for ideas is breakfast – until I started making these cheesy keto everything “bagels”. I love puffy, light baked eggs with tons of cheese, baked in a perfect bagel shape, that are great with cream cheese or as a keto breakfast sandwich!

Delicious Keto Bagels
If you’re on a keto or low carb diet, you’re probably missing a lot of your old, carb-loaded favorite dishes – and for me, that includes missing bagels so much.
I love bagels – especially hot toasted everything bagels – and decided to play around with my Keto Jalapeno Bread recipe a bit to come up with a real bagel I think is every bit just as delicious as my favorite everything bagels.
Just like my everything bagel fat bombs, this one is incredibly low carb keto with NO special flours or crazy ingredients – just cheese, eggs, and Everything Bagel seasoning!
This Keto Everything Bagel has less than 1 carbs per serving, making it an excellent easy breakfast choice that will fill you up!
While I have a perfect non-eggy easy keto sandwich bread recipe, this recipe relies on eggs and cheese to make this bagel alternative – they are perfect when you need something quick and dont want to find and mix a ton of ingredients.
I like to serve them with about ¼ cup of cream cheese for spreading – and you can also top them with lox, capers, and other schmears!
I’ve also had good luck storing them in the fridge and toasting them the next morning in the toaster for an easy grab and go keto breakfast.
This recipe does NOT include coconut flour or almond flour – and no egg wash – so it’s an incredibly quick and simple dish that is perfect for an impromptu everything bagel breakfast with ingredients you probably already have on hand.
Just mix, put in a pan, bake, and enjoy!
What you’ll need to make this Everything Bagel Recipe
Keto bagels can be made a few ways – but for this recipe, we’re going with the most simple, basic, and easy method – we’re baking a cheese and egg “bread” in a donut pan.
Donut pans are usually nonstick coated or made from silicone (the best choice), and can be purchased on Amazon, or found in a local craft store or kitchen specialty shop in the baking section.
Since these bagels are designed to be quick, there is no complicated setup – just press into the donut pan, bake, and enjoy!
To make these Everything Bagels, you’ll need an Everything Bagel Seasoning mix.
You can purchase Everything But The Bagel Seasoning at Trader Joes (watch for sneaky carbs in preservatives if using a pre-made mix), or you can make your own.
If you’d like to quickly mix your own Everything Bagel Seasoning, please use this deliciously easy mix (and don’t forget to try it on this amazingly delicious Everything Bagel Salmon Recipe!)
This recipe is really easy, and probably uses things you already have on hand.

How to Make Keto Bagels
- Prep. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a donut baking pan.
- Mix. Combine the shredded cheese, grated parmesan, and egg in a bowl and mix it until the ingredients are fully combined. Divide the mixture equally into six parts and press into well greased donut pan. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the tops of the egg and cheese mixture.
- Bake. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese has fully melted and created a slight brown crust.
- Enjoy! Let cool slightly until it is safe to touch and has set, then slide out of pan and eat!
Tips to Perfect Low Carb Bagels
I did find even with preparing the pan with coconut oil spray, my bagels very slightly stuck to the donut pan – but it didn’t ruin their shape or appearance at all.
I simply slid a butter knife around the edges of the bagels to pop them out of the pan, and they were perfectly fine.
To avoid any sticking, try to use a silicone donut pan. If you don’t have one, like I don’t, the butter knife trick works just fine.
I do find it is easier to release the bagels from the pan if they are slightly cooled (still very warm, but not so hot you can’t touch the pan without an oven mitt.)
FAQs
Bake keto everything bagels at 375 degrees.
Keto bagels take about 15 minutes to bake until puffy.
Keto bagels are done baking when they are light, puffy, and lightly browned around the edges.
This recipe relies on cheese and egg for it’s structure since we’re skipping flour – as it’s designed to be a very quick mix for busy mornings. You can use a cheese substitute, however I have not found one that will bake with the right texture of cheese and doesn’t include high carb counts if you’re trying to stay keto.
While these can technically be frozen, I wouldn’t recommend it since they are basically cheese and egg which both have an awkward texture after frozen. You can reheat them on a sheet pan in the oven from the fridge, but you only get a crunchy texture when they are fresh.

I cannot wait to try these! They look absolutely delicious and easy to make. To all the naysayers about the ads, just move on by. You can skip as she mentioned right in the beginning of the post. If it still bothers you, well, I’m not sure what to say. She is making a living and providing delicious recipes to boot! I will check out the links to the other recipes as well. Thank you!
Made for the first time tonight.. YUM! Thank you!
I appreciate all you keto/low carb recipe guru’s! My method is to scroll or jump to recipe to see if I like the ingredients or can’t make it because I don’t have the right equipment. Once I see and like the recipe, I read all the info posted above the recipe and some of the comments posted by people who have tried it or have questions. I want to know what type of problems encountered so I can avoid them or some neat suggestions to try. I don’t understand the complaints when you do all the hard work for us and then give it to us for FREE! Thank you! Was it Abe Lincoln who said it’s hard to please all the people all the time.
I’m going grocery shopping tomorrow and will be picking up the ingredients for this recipe. I’m going to make them in my muffin top pan.
I do have a suggestion for you. Include a star rating. I would have given you 5 stars.
My entire family loved these. My smallest is a rather picky 4 year old but she loves hand food and it it has cream cheese on it she’s sold. Plus smoked salmon and capers, we were in bagel heaven. They’re quick enough that I can have them as a side to ensure the youngest has something she will eat! I’ll have this in my Arsenal. Great idea, thanks for sharing.
Looks like a great recipe. But man, this is a difficult site to sift through. So many ads to fight through. I’m exhausted already. Not sure if I’ll be back!
I get a lot of people don’t want to look through ads, but these sites are insanely expensive to run, and this site was a hobby that became my fulltime job to support my family of four, and now I’m able to help my brother and my cousin with some side work for me. These ads are a totally free to you way to help employ families – especially now during a tough time. There’s also a lot of extra words in the post because they are all common questions I get, and I have a lot of readers who aren’t really comfortable cooking and ask for more to help them feel better making things – like why ingredients matter and how they react (so they can make substitutions that work based on the ingredient and it’s function), other recipes to serve with it and bookmark for later, tips on making something right without trial and error – I put it all in because I have lots of people asking me to. But I also get this is annoying to a lot of people who want to get straight to it (no shame, that would be me) so I have a “skip to recipe” button you can click that saves a ton of time and scrolling.
Agreed! The ads aren’t as much of a deterrent as all the dialogue and unnecessary sharing. This seems to be the norm for online recipe sites, I understand you earn income with ads, but why all the dialogue? I just want to read recipe not a diary.
I put that all in because that’s what I have readers asking for. That’s also why there is a skip to recipe button in the top left corner you can chose to skip past info you might not need- but it is still there for people who would like it.
I agree. I don’t always read the blog, but it can be very helpful when reading a recipe from a certain area, especially more local. I can tell the cook/chef knows the details and has done a lot of “trial and error” before posting. Many thanks and continued good luck with your recipes!
I tried this last weekend and it was delicious! I added extra seasoning because 2 tablespoons didn’t seem like nearly enough , and they ended up too salty. Next time I will follow the recipe! I didn’t have a donut pan so I used a mini muffin pan and it worked great!
I did exactly the same thing- way too salty! I’ll make again with less seasoning and add less salt next time. Otherwise yummy.
I don’t see where it says to add any salt, but the bagel seasoning and cheese adds to the salty taste. Heavens sake, it doesn’t need anymore salt added.
