Easy Mediterranean Cottage Cheese Flagels (Flat Bagels)
These easy-to-make Mediterranean flagels are a flat, airy take on the traditional bagel. They offer a delightful burst of savory flavor perfect for a quick snack or light meal. The simple dough is enriched with cottage cheese, which contributes to a soft, high-protein texture.
The flagels are studded with a colorful and zesty Mediterranean-inspired blend of ingredients. Finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes provide a sweet, concentrated tang that complements the sharp, briny notes of Kalamata olives. These inclusions transform a simple bread into a vibrant culinary experience.
Once baked to a golden perfection, the Mediterranean flagels are ideal for a variety of uses. Their flat shape and hearty texture make them excellent for open-faced sandwiches. You can also dipinto hummus or olive oil, or simply enjoying on their own.
