Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add cottage cheese and sour cream to a food processor. Pulse until smooth.
- Place cottage cheese mixture in a bowl. Add flour, baking powder, salt, olive oil, bacon, green onion, and Cheddar cheese. Using a large spoon, mix the ingredients together to form a dough. The dough will be very sticky and will take some time to incorporate. Sprinkle on more flour if needed to pull it together.
- Turn dough mixture out onto a floured surface. Dust hands with flour and knead the dough until it holds together, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Divide dough into 6 pieces. Flatten each piece into a circle. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Make a hole in the center of each flagel with a finger or blunt end of a kitchen knife.
- Beat egg in a small dish. Using a pastry brush, brush egg on top of each bagel. Try not to let the egg drip onto the baking sheet as this can cause sticking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then rotate the baking pan. Bake until golden brown, about 5 more minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Can be gently split and stuffed with additional bacon and cheese.
