These easy-to-make bagels combine creamy cottage cheese and vibrant spinach, delivering a hearty yet simple breakfast or snack option.

Scale

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, olive oil, and egg (or flaxseed mixture). Mix until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
Fold in the chopped spinach and shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring everything is well combined.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape them into bagel-like forms, creating a hole in the center of each.
Place the bagels on your prepared baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle with black sesame seeds and fresh herbs.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crusty on the outside.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving warm or toasted. Enjoy!

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They freeze well for longer storage.
