Notes

For best results, drain the cottage cheese in a fine-mesh sieve for 5–10 minutes before using to avoid dense, soggy bagels. Store cooled bagels in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze individually for up to 3 months. Reheat in a toaster or oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes for a fresh-baked texture. To boost protein further, add 1 scoop (30g) of unflavored whey or plant-based protein powder to the dry ingredients.
