Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and finely chopped spinach until well integrated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the cottage cheese and spinach blend, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
Divide the dough into four equal pieces, shape them into bagels with a hole in the center.
Beat the egg and apply it over each bagel's surface for a glossy finish.
Place bagels on the lined baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
Cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
