Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Spinach Cottage Cheese Flagels
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 beaten egg. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined.
  4. Chop 1 cup of baby spinach finely and fold it into the dough along with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Shape the dough into bagel-like rings about 3-4 inches in diameter and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and slightly puffed. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
  7. Transfer the flagels to a wire rack to cool slightly. Allow to rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
