Instructions

Enable step-by-step mode

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Blend cottage cheese until smooth, then stir into the dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
Fold in shredded cheddar and chopped jalapeños.
Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each into a rope, then form into a bagel shape.
Optional: brush with egg wash and sprinkle with extra cheese + jalapeño slices.
Bake for 22–25 minutes or until golden and puffed.

Notes

Let bagels cool completely, then store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 2 days or in the fridge for 5 days. For longer storage, slice and freeze individually—toast straight from frozen for best texture.
