Key ingredients
all-purpose flour, baking powder, cottage cheese, fat-free, low-fat or full-fat, pickled jalapeño slices, finely chopped, egg, whisked for egg wash.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese, fat-free, low-fat or full-fat
- 1 tablespoon pickled jalapeño slices, finely chopped
- 1 egg, whisked for egg wash
- 1/2 cup shredded light cheddar cheese
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Finely chop the pickled jalapeño slices and shred the cheddar cheese.
- Mix the flour, baking powder and salt thoroughly in a large bowl.
- Add the cottage cheese and chopped jalapeño. Mix until combined; the mixture will initially look crumbly.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 2 to 3 minutes, until completely combined.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, poke a hole through the centre and shape it into a bagel.
- Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush each bagel with whisked egg and top with shredded cheddar.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 28 minutes, until cooked through.
- Cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing so the cottage cheese dough can set.
