Instructions
-
Start off by preheating the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Line your work-surface with a silicone mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Using a silicone spatula, fold and press the mixture together until it starts to stick and combine together. Make sure the cheese is completely melted in with the dough - if not, pop the dough in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 20 second increments.
-
Lightly spray your hands with cooking oil to help prevent sticking. Place the mixture on the prepared work-space then use your hands and fingers to knead into a large dough ball. If the dough is too sticky, you can wrap it with plastic wrap and chill it in the fridge for 20 minutes.)
Mold the dough into a smooth and uniform dough ball then divide equally into 6 balls.
-
Take each ball and roll into a log, then pinch and connect the ends for form a bagel shap. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
