These cottage cheese bagels are made with just 3 ingredients, and they’re a delicious, high-protein breakfast! Try this simple recipe when you need a quick and easy snack!
I’ve been making so many recipes with cottage cheese, and I’ve loved how this versatile ingredient can add protein to some of my favorite snacks. So I decided to try using cottage cheese to make bagels, and it worked like a charm! All you need is self-rising flour, blended cottage cheese, and an egg. The egg is just used for an egg wash, so if you want to skip it, you can.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Self-Rising Flour- If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can use all-purpose flour. Use one cup of all-purpose flour mixed with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Cottage cheese– You can use low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese; either one works great. You can use plain Greek yogurt if you don’t have cottage cheese.
Egg– This is optional, but using an egg wash on the bagels gives them a nice crust and a golden brown exterior.
Seasoning– This is optional, but I used everything bagel seasoning to turn these into everything bagels. Feel free to use sea salt and rosemary or other herbs.
How to Make Self-Rising Flour
If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own! The ratio is one cup of all-purpose flour mixed with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. This makes slightly more than one cup of self-rising flour, which is all you’ll need for this recipe.

Could you add fresh blueberries or even dried blueberries to this recipe? I’m going to try this either way but wondered if  these could be added.Â
Thank you

I’d try dried blueberries just to make sure they don’t add too much moisture to the bagels!
These bagels are absolutely stunning! I love making them to go with soups – so delicious!
