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.
