INGREDIENTS

200g quark
1 egg
50g flour
40g cheese, grated
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
A pinch of salt
1 egg yolk and preferred seeds for toppings

METHOD

1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius to ensure it’s nice and hot for baking.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the quark, egg, flour, grated cheese, caraway seeds, and a pinch of salt. Use a fork to gently mix the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth dough consistency.

3. Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

4. Divide the dough into 3-4 equal portions, then shape each portion into a ball using your hands. Flatten the balls slightly and use your fingers to make a hole in the centre of each, forming them into bagel shapes.

5. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk and use a pastry brush to lightly coat the tops of the bagels with the yolk.

6. Sprinkle your preferred seeds over the egg-coated bagels for added flavour and texture.

7. Place the bagels on the prepared baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

These Cheesy Quark Bagels are best enjoyed warm from the oven, either on their own or topped with your favourite spreads and accompaniments. Whether you’re craving a savoury breakfast option or a satisfying snack, these homemade bagels are sure to hit the spot. So, roll up your sleeves, preheat your oven, and get ready to savour the irresistible taste of freshly baked cheesy goodness!
