Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Garlic Butter
- 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Add the shredded mozzarella and olive oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 45 to 60 seconds until the cheese is fully melted and stretchy when stirred.1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Blend the cottage cheese and egg until smooth with no visible lumps. Use an immersion blender or a small food processor.1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese, 1 large egg
- Add the blended cottage cheese and egg mixture to the warm but not hot mozzarella. Stir until everything looks thick and glossy. It should be stretchy and creamy, not watery.
- Stir in the almond flour, parmesan cheese, baking powder, garlic powder. Mix until a soft dough forms. It should feel slightly sticky but hold together.1 cup almond flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- Lightly oil your hands and your work surface. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each one into a rope about 5 to 6 inches long. Tie each rope into a simple knot, like you are tying a shoelace, and gently press the ends together if needed.
- Place knots on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until puffed and lightly golden on top.
- Melt the butter with minced garlic and parsley. Brush the knots generously and serve right away.1 tablespoon butter, unsalted, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Notes
- Shaping Tip: Don’t use almond flour to roll the dough. It’ll crack. Lightly oil your hands and surface instead for smooth, easy knots.
- Too soft? Add a spoonful of almond flour.
Too dry? Add a small spoonful of cottage cheese. - These are soft and fluffy, not chewy like bagels. Think buttery dinner roll meets garlic bread, but blood sugar–friendly.
