Ingredients
1.5 cups cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup almond flour
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and spinach until smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and incorporate the shredded mozzarella, almond flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Spoon the batter into four equal circles on the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly to create a flagel shape.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Ensure you blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth for the best texture. For extra flavor, sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top before baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and toast before serving for maximum crispness.
