Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese (small curd)
• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Optional toppings: everything bagel seasoning, poppy seeds, sesame seeds

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gather all ingredients.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, almond flour, eggs, baking soda, salt, and dried oregano. Mix until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, then poke a hole in the center with your thumb to form a flagel shape. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

If desired, sprinkle with optional toppings like everything bagel seasoning or poppy seeds. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 5

Let cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm with your favorite spreads or as a base for sandwiches. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

For best results

• For best texture, use small curd cottage cheese and do not drain it.
• If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon more almond flour.
• To make ahead, prepare the dough and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before shaping and baking.

Variations

• Add 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese for a cheesy twist.
• Swap dried oregano for rosemary or thyme for a different herb flavor.
• Make them savory by mixing in chopped sun-dried tomatoes or olives.
