Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, olive oil, and egg. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well-blended. Set aside.
  3. Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in spinach and mozzarella cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Shape the dough into bagel-like shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown, ensuring they have risen slightly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes on a wire rack.
