- 1 large Egg For a vegan option, use ground flaxseed mixed with water
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Almond flour for gluten-free option
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Ensure it's fresh
- 1 teaspoon Salt Opt for sea salt
- 2 cups Baby Spinach Finely chopped; kale can be substituted
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Feta for a tangier flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, olive oil, and egg. Stir until fully blended.
- Sprinkle in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped spinach and mozzarella cheese until evenly distributed.
Shaping and Baking
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Grab about 1/4 cup of the dough and shape it into a round patty, then create a hole in the center.
- Place the shaped flagels on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
Ensure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise. For quicker prep, chop the spinach ahead of time. These flagels taste best warm, fresh out of the oven, but can be stored for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
