Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg beaten
2 to 3 tablespoons Everything But The Bagel Seasoning

Instructions

Heat the oven to 375°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, use a fork to combine the cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, and salt. The dough will look crumbly.
Using clean hands, knead the dough in the bowl until it comes together into a ball and is smooth and tacky (but not sticky). If your dough is too wet and sticky, you can add another tablespoon of flour.
Divide the dough ball into four equal parts and roll each cut section into a ball then into a rope. Join the ends to form bagels and gently stretch out the center so the bagels have just under 2 inches of space. (If the dough is still super sticky, you can coat your hands in flour to make rolling the dough easier)
Brush each bagel with the beaten egg and add your topping of choice to them; I use everything but the bagel seasoning.
Bake in the middle rack for 20 to 22 minutes and allow the oven-baked cottage cheese bagels to rest out of the oven for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
If using the air fryer, air fry for 13 to 14 minutes at 350°F. Rest the air fryer cottage cheese bagels for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
