Preheat oven to 375° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. It should resemble pebbles but not be cohesive.

Using your hands, work the dough together until it’s completely combined and no longer sticks to the bowl. The dough shouldn’t be sticky - add about a tablespoon or two of flour if needed until dough no longer sticks to your hands.

Separate the dough into 4 equal pieces, roll into a ball, and then poke a hole in the middle with your thumb. Stretch the hole gently until the dough resembles a bagel.

Place on the parchment lined baking sheet and brush each bagel with egg. Bake at 375° F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove from the oven and allow bagels to rest for at least 25 minutes before slicing to ensure they are fully cooked through. Serve and enjoy!
