Jalapeño Cheddar Protein Bagels

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4 Bagels

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of cottage cheese

• 1 jalapeño

• 1 cup cheddar cheese

• 1 cup of SELF RISING flour (sub gluten-free flour)

• 1 egg for egg wash

Instructions:

1. Start with preheating the oven to 375 degrees

2. Shred cheddar cheese & chop jalapeño (I de-seed mine)

3. In a bowl, combine diced jalapeño & cheddar

4. If using cottage cheese, I blended until smooth (it makes preparing the dough easier) 1 cup of cottage cheese and 1 cup of self-rising flour into the bowl with the other ingredients. Knead together until dough forms (it's sticky, but don’t be scared, keep kneading.)

5. Form into a ball and then cut the dough into four even pieces. Roll the dough out and form a bagel shape

6. Scramble one egg & paint your bagel so the toppings stick.

7. Add extra jalapeño slices & cheese for garnish.

8. Bake at 375 for 20–25 minutes till golden brown
