Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1 ½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, flour, egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Lightly flour your hands, then divide dough into 4 equal portions and shape into rounds.
  4. Poke a hole in the center of each round to form bagels.
  5. Place bagels on prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Brush with egg wash before baking and sprinkle with extra Parmesan or everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor.
  • Substitute garlic powder with onion powder or fresh chopped herbs.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free self-rising flour blend.
  • These bagels freeze well—wrap individually and thaw before toasting.
  • Great for sandwiches, avocado toast, or served plain.
