Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese (full-fat for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (or avocado oil)

- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (almond flour for gluten-free option)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt (sea salt recommended)
- 2 cups Baby Spinach (finely chopped)
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (or Feta for a tangier flavor)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, olive oil, and egg. If using vegan substitute, mix ground flaxseed with water and let sit to thicken.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
- Gently fold in the finely chopped spinach and shredded mozzarella.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly flour your work surface and divide the dough into portions; shape into bagel forms.

- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Gather toppings like cream cheese or smoked salmon, and enjoy!
