These Garlic-Parmesan Cottage Cheese Bagels are a savory, protein-packed twist on a classic favorite, combining creamy cottage cheese with bold garlic and Parmesan flavors for a delicious breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Gradually add the flour and baking powder, stirring until a dough forms.
  4. Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese evenly.
  5. Lightly flour a surface and divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
  6. Shape each portion into a ball, then punch a hole through the center to form bagels.
  7. Place bagels on the prepared baking sheet and optionally brush tops with olive oil.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For an extra kick, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or red pepper flakes on top before baking. These bagels pair wonderfully with avocado or smoked salmon.
