Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups baby spinach, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the flagels.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend together the cottage cheese, olive oil, and egg until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option), baking powder, and salt thoroughly.
- Mix Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Gently fold in the finely chopped spinach and shredded mozzarella cheese to evenly distribute throughout the dough.
- Shape Flagels: Shape the dough into round portions and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the flagels are golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough to keep flagels tender.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
- Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
