Protein-rich bagels made with Greek yogurt, jalapeños, and cheddar cheese. Ready in under 30 minutes for a spicy, savory treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for kneading)
  • 1 cup low-fat or non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 small jalapeño peppers (1 diced, 1 sliced for topping)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
  • 1 egg, whisked (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (≈200°C).
  2. Dice one jalapeño for mixing and slice the other for topping.
  3. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add Greek yogurt; mix with spatula, then knead by hand until dough forms.
  5. Fold in diced jalapeño and shredded cheese.
  6. Knead on floured surface 1–2 minutes; add more flour if sticky.
  7. Divide into 4 small or 2 large balls. Roll each into ~6-inch strand and shape into bagels.
  8. Place on parchment-lined sheet. Brush with egg. Top with sliced jalapeños, cheese, and optional flakey salt.
  9. Bake 18–22 minutes until golden-brown.
  10. Cool 5–10 minutes. Slice, toast briefly, and serve.

Notes

  • Best with non- or low-fat Greek yogurt to avoid sticky dough.
  • Use 1:1 gluten-free flour blend if needed.
  • Add more flour if dough is tacky during kneading.
  • Store in fridge up to 5 days, freeze up to 3 months.
