Ingredients:
- 1 cup (225g) cottage cheese
- 1 cup (30g) fresh baby spinach, packed
- 1 large (50g) egg
- 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
- ½ tsp (3g) salt
- 1 tbsp (15ml) egg wash
- 1 tbsp (5g) everything bagel seasoning
Instructions:
- Place the cottage cheese, fresh spinach, egg, and olive oil into a blender. Process on high until the mixture is a velvety, vibrant green and no visible chunks of cottage cheese remain.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour the blended green mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until a sticky, cohesive dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop approximately 1/3 cup of dough for each flagel and use palms to flatten them into discs roughly 1/2 inch thick.
- Use a thumb to press a hole in the center of each disc to create a bagel shape.
- Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until the edges are golden-brown and the centers feel firm to the touch.
