Cottage Cheese Protein Bagels
Quick and healthy 3-ingredient bagels made with cottage cheese, perfect for busy mornings or entertaining.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and self-rising flour. Use a fork or spatula to blend them together until you achieve a doughy consistency. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each piece into a ball and poke a hole in the center to shape them like bagels.
Cooking
- For Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (190°C). Place the bagels in the basket, ensuring they're not touching. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- For Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, watching closely as they brown.
Serving
- Let the bagels cool slightly before serving. Best when enjoyed warm.
Notes
Experiment with flavors by adding herbs, garlic powder, or spices to the dough. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, and reheat in a toaster.
