DescriptionSpinach & Cheese Bagel Rings deliver all the chew and structure of a bagel in a streamlined, oven-baked format—no boiling required. Blended cottage cheese creates a smooth, protein-rich dough, while spinach and mozzarella add savory depth and moisture. Shaped as classic rings and baked flat, these bagels are ideal for slicing, toasting, and stacking into hearty breakfast or lunch sandwiches.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 cup + 2 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 2 oz baby spinach, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 egg, lightly beaten (for brushing)

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth.
3. In a large bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, olive oil, spinach, and mozzarella. Mix until a soft dough forms.
4. Shape the dough into a short log and divide evenly into 6 portions.
5. Roll each portion into a thick rope and form into a ring, pinching the ends together to seal.
6. Place the rings on the prepared baking sheet and brush lightly with the beaten egg.
7. Bake for 22–25 minutes, until lightly golden and set.
8. Transfer to a wire rack and cool before slicing or toasting.
