Ingredients
- Cottage cheese 9% fat 400 g
- Chicken egg 2 pcs
- Rice flour 2 tbsp
- Hard cheese 70 g
- Salt to taste
- Sesame seeds to taste
- Black sesame seeds optional
For the filling
- Cream cheese 4 tbsp
- Spinach 6 leaf
- Tomato 2 slice
- Ham 2 slice
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the air fryer. Rinse and dry the spinach, wash the tomato.
Step 2
Separate the white from the yolk of one egg. Add the white to the cottage cheese and crack the second egg into it.
TipSave the yolk, you'll need it later.
Step 3
Grate the cheese on a fine grater. Add it to the cottage cheese mixture along with the flour and salt. Mix well.
Step 4
Divide the cottage cheese dough into 2 parts. Roll them into thick sausages.
Step 5
Join the ends of the sausages together to form a donut shape, pressing them firmly. Do the same with the second part of the dough.
Step 6
Transfer the bagels to the parchment-lined air fryer basket and brush with the yolk. Sprinkle with sesame seeds on top and bake for 15–20 minutes.
TipKeep in mind that the exact baking time depends not only on the brand of the appliance but also on its power. Also, instead of an air fryer, you can bake the bagels in an oven at 180 °C, which will take about 40 minutes.
Step 7
Prepare 2 tomato slices, ham slices, and spinach leaves for the filling. Cut the baked bagels in half lengthwise, spread with cream cheese, and layer first with spinach, then ham, and then tomatoes.
TipFor a neater look, you can trim the ham to fit the size of the bagel.
Step 8
Serve the bagels on a plate or board with craft paper.
