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!
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!

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.

How to Make Carb Free Bagels
First assemble the following ingredients:
- Shredded cheese (1 cup) – I like to use cheddar, mozzarella, any kind of cheese that melts well, they create a chewy, cheesy base for the keto bagels.
- Grated parmesan (½ cup) – Adds a salty, nutty bite and helps the bagels hold their structure, you can also use asiago or Pecorino Romano.
- Eggs (2) – Bind the ingredients together while giving the bagels lightness and richness.
- Everything bagel seasoning (2 tbsp) – Brings the classic garlicky, oniony crunch with sesame and poppy seeds for authentic bagel flavor.
Once you have assembled the ingredients, use this method:
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. Let cool slightly until it is safe to touch and has set, then slide out of pan and eat!
Tips and Tricks to Perfect Low Carb Bagels
Spray Well – 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.
Remove Carefully – I simply slid a butter knife around the edges of the bagels to pop them out of the pan, and they were perfectly fine.
Try Silicone – 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.
Cool Slightly – 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.

Hi! I just made these. They smell and look delicious! How do you reheat these?
I usually just pop them in the oven for 5-6 minutes to warm them (I don’t have a microwave, so I can’t testify to how they reheat in the microwave, but I think they should do fine.) If you’re worried about them drying out in the oven to reheat, just pop them in some foil and chuck it in until warm 🙂
Honestly, while the recipe seems decent, I was getting angrier by the second from all the unnecessary commentary, other links, all the amazon stuff and the amount of scrolling I had to do to finally get down to the recipe.
Unpinning this one because I would get a brain aneurysm the next time I have to go through the entire page to reach the recipe.
Thanks!
Hey Kris – I hate that you were so inconvenienced by scrolling. I get there is a lot of stuff here – but I try to provide as much information as possible for my readers. I might have a similar brain aneurysm if everyone was so rude and impatient about a post where I’m just trying to be sure you love your meal and have similar ideas (which I am asked for on any recipe I leave them off of).
Thanks!
If all the “tip” are so vital just put them after the recipe. The only thing that is different about your recipe from many others is the pan and your sprinkles. I had to scroll all the way down to find out it wasn’t original.
I put in all that info for readers who have asked me repeatedly for more information. Not everyone is comfortable in the kitchen, and I’m glad to have helped them out.
THE NERVE OF SOME PEOPLE!!!! WOW, LIKE IT’S SO DIFFICULT TO JUST SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE WHERE EVERYONE PUTS THE FINAL RECIPE… THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING RECIPE COURTNEY
Why be snarky just say thanks for the awesome recipe and leave it. If scrolling gives you an aneurism would hate to see what making the recipe would do!! So so rude!
I like this recipe, but I nearly gave up looking for it because of all the links to other posts and products that you shared and used to make these. It was a lot to go through to get to the actual recipe but I’m pinning it anyway because I like it.
