INGREDIENTS

1 cup low-fat cottage cheese

0.75 cup self-rising flour

0.25 cup liquid egg whites

1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Place the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender and pulse until completely smooth to ensure a uniform dough texture.

• 3

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the smooth cottage cheese, self-rising flour, half of the liquid egg whites, sea salt, and garlic powder.

• 4

  Stir the mixture until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overwork the flour which can lead to a tough bite.

• 5

  Using damp hands to prevent sticking, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll them into smooth spheres.

• 6

  Arrange the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about two inches of space between each one.

• 7

  Brush the tops of the bites with the remaining liquid egg whites to act as a glue for the seasoning.

• 8

  Generously sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning over each bite, pressing down very lightly so the seeds adhere to the surface.

• 9

  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the bites have puffed up and developed a beautiful golden-brown exterior.

• 10

  Remove from the oven and allow the bites to rest on the pan for 5 minutes to let the airy interior set before serving.
