cottage cheese flagels

High-protein cottage cheese flagels with spinach, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (small curd)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour (or 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour + 2 1/4 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp salt)
  • 1 cup chopped spinach (fresh, packed)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (optional, for extra chew + browning)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)
  • 12 tbsp flour (for dusting, as needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese + eggs until smooth.
  3. Pour into a mixing bowl. Stir in self-rising flour (and garlic powder/pepper if using) until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Fold in the chopped spinach (and mozzarella if using). If dough is too sticky to handle, dust with a little flour.
  5. Divide dough into 6 portions. With lightly floured hands, flatten each portion into a flagel shape (about 3–4 inches wide and 1/2-inch thick).
  6. Bake 18–22 minutes until puffed and golden on top. For extra browning, broil 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely).
  7. Cool 5 minutes, then serve warm or toast for the best texture.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Toast before serving for a crispier texture.
