Serving Size 4
Ingredients
Bagels
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Topping
- 1 egg, beaten
- everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese in a blender until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the blended cottage cheese and stir until a dough forms (feel free to use your hands, but don't knead too much). If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and divide into four equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a ball, then roll into a 10-inch-long rope. Bring the ends of the rope together to form a circle, overlapping and pinching the ends together to seal. You can roll the seam on the counter to smooth it out.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) with the Air-Fry function on.
- Brush the tops with a beaten egg and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, a topping of choice, or leave them plain.
- Place the bagels in the air fryer basket, ideally, they don’t touch. Air fry for 10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow to cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- If you don’t have a blender, use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese.
- Store & Reheat: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or toaster to bring back the crispiness.
- Freeze: Freeze for up to 3 months in a freezer bag. Thaw overnight at room temperature or in the refrigerator, then warm to your liking. OR defrost directly in a toaster. → Make sure to slice them before freezing, so you can easily toast them straight from frozen.
