Recipes Made With Everything Seasoning
Everything bagel seasoning is one of my favorite go-to seasonings and with good reason. It's not just for bagels! You can sprinkle this savory mix on almost anything to give it a flavor boost. The blend of sesame seeds, garlic, onion, and salt adds a crunch and compliments the taste of so many foods.

Ingredients For Cottage Cheese Bagels
- Self-rising flour: Provides structure and rises without needing yeast.

- Egg: Used for an egg wash, giving the bagels a shiny, golden finish.
- Everything bagel seasoning: Adds a savory crunch and flavor boost.
How to Make Cottage Cheese Everything Bagels
To make these bagels, start by preheating your oven and preparing a baking sheet. Place the cottage cheese in a blender and blend until smooth.
In a large bowl, mix self-rising flour with cottage cheese until you have a soft dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface, adding more flour if sticky.
Divide the dough into four equal-sized balls. Shape the dough into bagels by rolling each ball into a long rope. Then, connect the ends to make a bagel shape.
Apply an egg wash on top for color, using a pastry brush.
Generously sprinkle the dough with everything bagel seasoning. Bake until golden brown, and let them cool on a wire rack.
These everything bagels made with cottage cheese taste so good, you won't believe you made them at home! They are one of my favorite breakfasts and snacks!
Tips for Making Cottage Cheese Bagels
Tip 1:If the dough is too sticky, lightly dust your hands with flour.
Tip 2: Don’t skip the egg wash, as it helps the seasoning stick and helps make the bagels a golden color.
Tip 3: Let the bagels cool on a wire rack to prevent the bottoms from getting soggy. This helps them maintain a nice, firm texture.
