This High-Protein Cottage Cheese Bagel is soft inside, golden outside, and ready in minutes with no yeast and no long wait. Cottage cheese keeps it tender and filling, while a sprinkle of sesame adds a toasty finish. It is a smart, satisfying start to the day, much like our Sweet Stuffed Cottage Cheese Fritters and Cottage Cheese Buns with Chicken and Cheese.
Ingredients
- 180 g (3/4 cup) cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 40 g (1/3 cup) rice flour
- Salt and baking powder
- 30 g (1/3 cup) grated cheese
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Mix everything and shape into a bagel with wet hands.
- Air-fry at 160°C (320°F) for 15 minutes (or bake in the oven).
Tips
- Wet your hands before shaping so the dough does not stick and the bagel keeps a smooth ring.
- Let the bagel cool for a few minutes before slicing so the center sets and stays fluffy.
