Ingredients
- 2 cups Baby spinach (chopped)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, and egg. Stir until the mixture is reasonably smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined to form a soft dough.
- Fold in the baby spinach so it’s evenly distributed.
- Divide the dough and shape into bagel forms or flatten into rounds. Place them on the baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with olive oil.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden on top.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a tangier bite, swap half the cottage cheese for ricotta. To make gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour, but expect a slightly different texture.
