Description

Hearty flat bagels made with cottage cheese and spinach, perfect for brunch or snacks.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups Baby spinach (chopped)
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 cup All purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
  • 1 cup Cottage cheese
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, and egg. Stir until the mixture is reasonably smooth and evenly mixed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined and a soft dough forms.
  5. Fold the baby spinach into the dough, distributing it evenly without overworking.
  6. Divide the dough and form into bagel shapes or flatten into rounds. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  7. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil to promote browning and a glossy finish.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the flagels are puffed and golden on top.
  9. Allow to cool slightly before serving so they finish setting and are easier to slice.

Notes

For a savory twist, mix in garlic and herbs. Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
