When weโ€™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 โ€œbagelsโ€. 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!

At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe – my goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

I want each reader to walk away with a solid knowledge of each recipe, with all of the tips I’ve gathered from extensive testing of each recipe. I also answer questions my friends and family have asked about my recipes, to help everyone better understand the processes we use – and why!

Delicious Keto Bagels

If youโ€™re on a keto or low carb diet, youโ€™re probably missing a lot of your old, carb-loaded favorite dishes โ€“ and for me, that includes missing bagels so much.

I love bagels โ€“ especially hot toasted everything bagels โ€“ 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 โ€“ 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 ยผ cup of cream cheese for spreading โ€“ 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 โ€“ and no egg wash โ€“ so itโ€™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 โ€“ but for this recipe, weโ€™re going with the most simple, basic, and easy method โ€“ weโ€™re baking a cheese and egg โ€œbreadโ€ 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 โ€“ just press into the donut pan, bake, and enjoy!

To make these Everything Bagels, youโ€™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 youโ€™d like to quickly mix your own Everything Bagel Seasoning, please use this deliciously easy mix (and donโ€™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 Everything Bagel Seasoning

If youโ€™d like to make your own everything bagel seasoning recipe, it is incredibly simple! 

Homemade everything bagel seasoning is great on seafood, vegetables, beef, eggs โ€“ and it makes a really fun Christmas gift. 

  • Poppy Seeds.
  • Sesame Seeds.
  • Black Sesame Seeds.
  • Minced Dried Garlic.
  • Minced Dried Onion.
  • Flaked Sea Salt.

In a small bowl, mix all ingredients well.

How to Make Keto Bagels

  1. Prep. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a donut baking pan.
  2. 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. 
  3. Bake. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese has fully melted and created a slight brown crust.
  4. 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 โ€“ but it didnโ€™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 donโ€™t have one, like I donโ€™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 canโ€™t touch the pan without an oven mitt.)

FAQs

What temperature do I bake keto everything bagels at?

Bake keto everything bagels at 375 degrees.

How long do keto everything bagels take to bake?

Keto bagels take about 15 minutes to bake until puffy.

How can I tell if a keto baked bagel is done?

Keto bagels are done baking when they are light, puffy, and lightly browned around the edges.

Can I make keto bagels without cheese?

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.

Can keto bagels be frozen?

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.

  1. Lori DiBiase says:

    OMG….these were so good, thanks for sharing the recipe!

  2. Jennifer K says:

    So I did try these they are good but salty.

    1. Kelley says:

      I just made a dozen of these , double batch, used silicone donut pans. I used mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheeses as well as the parm. I lightly sprinkled the season mix on top they were delicious! I cut in half and crisped them up in a frying pan, so seemed toasted

      1. Joanne says:

        Great idea

  3. Amber L Palmer says:

    Has anyone attempted in a airfryer? I think I may make 5 in the oven and throw on in my airfryer and see what happens. Let me know if anyone has had success or tips on that. Thanks

    1. Courtney ODell says:

      Amber – I haven’t but I should! The dough’s consistency would make it fall through my air fryer basket (and I am SUPER new to air frying), but if you have a pan it would work!

  4. Cindy says:

    Could you make this sweet instead of savory? My kiddos are in MAD diet for their seizures. The would love a cinnamon/sugar replacement version. Any ideas on how to tweak it to work for that? Thank you!

    1. Courtney ODell says:

      Cindy – because of the parmesan base it might taste a bit funky (though I am going to be trying some sweet versions!) I am testing out a few new recipes with this base this week! I’ll let you know how they turn out.

      1. Krista says:

        I put cream cheese, stevia, and cinnamon on the bagel as they are and it tasted great!

      2. Teresa Slusnys says:

        IF you grate really “fresh parmesan” it is a sweeter taste !!! I cannot get past the “soured baby burp-up smell” otherwise….it has to be fresh hard parmesan and it would lend itself to being a sweeter flavored batter. A good Italian Deli should have it.

  5. Vanessa says:

    Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?

  6. Sherice says:

    Any suggestions if you donโ€™t need have a donut pan? I have limited storage and donโ€™t really want to buy one if I donโ€™t have to.) Maybe shaped into a bagel shape on a cookie sheet or in a muffin pan?

    1. Courtney ODell says:

      So to be perfectly honest – I often am too lazy to find my donut pan and will just bake them as “biscuits” on a silpat or parchment paper lined baking sheet. Looks a bit different – tastes exactly the same!
