Whipped Roasted Garlic & Green Onion Protein Bagel Shmear

Continuing my journey of high protein, low carb life while looking for ways to still enjoy the things I've always loved. Bagels would have to be my biggest pitfall. I have found a brand of low carb/keto friendly bagels that are delicious and knew I had to modify my favorite homemade shmear to make it high protein friendly.
My protein powder is 16g protein per scoop and I used 2 scoops which totaled 1/3 cup, hence that measurement for the recipe. If this is divided into only 8 servings, my protein count per serving is 8.25g.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Roast garlic - Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut tops off each bulb of garlic. Place cut side up on a piece of foil. Drizzle with avocado or olive oil. Loosely fold up foil around garlic to make a sealed pouch. Don't press the foil against the garlic, you want to leave room for steam to circulate. Roast for 35-40 minutes or until a knife will slide through a clove like it's half melted butter. Open foil and allow cloves to cool enough to handle.

In a large bowl use an electric hand mixer to whip together neufchatel and yogurt until it's slightly fluffy. Add protein powder and 1 tbs water. Whip again until just combined. If it still seems too stiff add second tbs of water. You want it to seem looser that a spreadable cream cheese at this stage since it will firm up when chilled.
- 3
Working one bulb at a time, turn cut side down and squeeze the cloves out into the shmear mixture. Just get in there with your finger tips and go for it. Add garlic and onion powders and whip one more time for about 15 seconds.

Lastly, fold in green onions. Transfer to a container with an air tight lid. Seal and chill in fridge over night before use. Obviously goes great on bagels but also works awesome as a dip for crackers and veggies!

Four Meat, Four Cheese Bagel Breakfast Sandwich Four Meat, Four Cheese Bagel Breakfast Sandwich
We are fans of the #breakfastsandwich in our house & I have a big family full of men who love meat! Especially for breakfast! 🤠 (This recipe is not recommended for anyone trying to lose weight!🙄👌) As a "wannabe vegan," I personally died making this for my family,... but then, I was shortly after arisen, upon seeing their smiles & hearing their cheers! 👏🤣🤷🏻♀️ Ps. You can also totally just make this with all vegan ingredients. 🙀🤫🤭😈 However, I simply had some corned beef & sauerkraut leftover that I wasnt sure what to do with... and this is what resulted! 🤦🏻♀️🥳😎😄#leftoversmakeovers #fridgecleanout Chef Mommy Nessa -

Soft Bagels Soft Bagels
I like chewy bagels, but I like soft and dense ones as well. These bagels can be used in many ways and are easy to eat.They're also good for sandwiches.Cover the dough with a damp cloth from the first rising to the shaping stage (Since the rising time is not very long, it is technically called “floor time”). Cloth is not needed during the second rising.For a smooth finish, remove the trapped air out of the dough really well before shaping the dough. Recipe by Masacchi cookpad.japan -
Simple Bagels Simple Bagels
I wanted to use all purpose flour to make bagels for sandwiches. I put this recipe together to use up some whole wheat flour and rye. It's also a reminder for me.I've adjusted the amount of water so that the dough is easy to knead. Hence, I don't think you'll have much trouble kneading it.You could either use fine or coarsely ground whole wheat and rye. Also adjust the time for rising to your preference.

Cafe-style Bagel Sandwich Cafe-style Bagel Sandwich
I love sandwiches served at cafes. When I was making rice balls with smoked cheese and salmon flakes, I thought it tasted like smoked salmon. Then I thought it could also go on bread! So, I took out a frozen bagel and made this cafe-style version.Be careful not to use a bagel with a large hole. If you add mayonnaise, the ingredients will easily come together. If you love bagels, of course you can use your homemade bagels! The sandwich in the top photo is made with a store-bought edamame and soy milk bagel.It is probably also great with onion slices!

Tofu Bagel Tofu Bagel
I love my mother's bagels. I was taught to make these during a little visit. Please feel free to add any of your favorite flavourings.If the dough is too sticky in Step 4, there is not enough flour in the dough.Try adding your favorite flavorings to the dough. I think cinnamon, sesame, basil, or kuromame (black soy beans) are delicious.If you can't eat them hot out of the oven, wrap them in aluminum foil and heat them in an oven-toaster. For the finishing touch, draw back the foil and toast the top until it turns a lovely golden brown colour. Recipe by Makunouchi cookpad.japan -
Crunchy Yummy Blueberry Bagels Crunchy Yummy Blueberry Bagels
I made this recipe because I love blueberry bagels and wanted to eat fresh ones.Since I always want to eat fresh blueberry bagels, I only make small amounts of dough.The boiled bagels need to be baked right away, or the surfaces will be wrinkly. Get ready for this process so that after rising, the procedure goes smoothly. Recipe by keromido cookpad.japan -
Matcha Bagels Matcha Bagels
Here's my take on making matcha bagels, since now it's accepted as a standard flavor. It's so easy, and yet the fragrance of matcha is so soothing.It's not very different from making plain bagels. I posted this here to remind myself how much matcha powder I'm supposed to add .Please adjust the amount of water or the time for rising depending on the condition of your dough.
