Spinach Cottage Cheese Flagels

Print Recipe

Quick and easy flat bagels made with spinach and cottage cheese that are soft, chewy, and perfect for brunch or snacks.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Baby spinach (finely chopped)
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 cup Cottage cheese
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together the cottage cheese, egg, olive oil, and chopped baby spinach until evenly combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt to distribute the leavening.
  4. Add the dry mixture to the wet and mix until a soft dough forms. Use a spatula and finish with light hands — don’t overwork it.
  5. Fold the shredded mozzarella into the dough so cheese is dispersed in pockets through each flagel.
  6. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into flat, bagel-like rounds on the prepared sheet. Press gently so they’re about ¾–1 inch thick.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the tops are golden and the centers feel set when pressed.
  8. Let them cool slightly on a rack for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a smoother batter, blend cottage cheese briefly. Consider half whole wheat flour for a denser texture or use a gluten-free blend.
