Garlic-Parmesan Cottage Cheese Bagels are savory, protein-packed bagels made without yeast or long rise times. Soft and flavorful with a cheesy garlic twist, they’re perfect for quick breakfasts or hearty snacks.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt)
  • 1 egg (for the dough)
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: extra parmesan or beaten egg for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, egg, parmesan, garlic powder, and salt.
  3. Add self-rising flour and mix until a sticky dough forms. Add a bit more flour if too wet.
  4. Flour hands and divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll each into a rope and shape into a bagel.
  5. Place bagels on the baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg or sprinkle extra parmesan if desired.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. Cool slightly before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Add herbs like rosemary or thyme for flavor variation.
  • For crunch, top with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning.
  • Make a sweet version by skipping garlic and parmesan and adding cinnamon and honey.
  • Use Greek yogurt as a substitute for cottage cheese if preferred.
  • Freeze well—wrap individually and reheat straight from frozen.
