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