Preheat the oven to 375˚F and position the rack to the top half of the oven.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Place the baking sheet in the oven while you make the bagel dough.
In a food processor or blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth scraping down the sides as needed. Add the greek yogurt and pulse to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and add the flour. Using clean hands, mix the flour with the cottage cheese mixture until combined and the dough starts to hold together.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead the dough 10-12 times until smooth. Add more flour as needed until the dough is no longer sticky.
Roll the dough into a ball and divide into 4 equal balls. Shape the balls into bagels by flattening slightly then pressing your thumb through the center to create the hole. Alternatively, you can fill the balls into a 6 inch top and join the ends of the rope to form a circle. Be sure to pinch the seam tightly so it holds together.
Brush the tops of the bagels with the egg wash and top with your favorite seasoning.
Carefully arrange the bagels on the preheated baking sheet and bake until puffed up and golden brown, approximately 25-30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Bagels will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
