Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Blend cottage cheese until smooth. In a mixing bowl, combine blended cottage cheese with an egg and flour mixture (self-rising or all-purpose with baking powder and salt). Mix until you form a sticky dough.
  3. Divide the dough into four equal portions and shape each into a rope about 6-7 inches long. Connect the ends to form bagels and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Brush each bagel with beaten egg wash and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese or garlic seasoning if desired.
  5. Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown. For extra crispness, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Cool on a wire rack for five minutes before serving.
