# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a bagel mold.
02 -
In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
03 -
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and shredded cheese.
04 -
Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick dough forms.
05 -
Divide the dough into 4-6 equal portions. Roll each into a log and connect the ends to form a bagel shape. Place them on the prepared baking sheet or into the bagel mold.
06 -
Brush each bagel with beaten egg to create a golden crust and sprinkle with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or Everything Bagel seasoning.
07 -
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
08 -
Serve warm with cream cheese, butter, avocado, or your favorite spreads.
# Notes:
01 -
Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer texture.
02 -
Blending the cottage cheese ensures a smooth dough without lumps.
03 -
Do not overmix—just combine until the dough forms.
04 -
For extra crispiness, toast the bagels before serving.
