Kev Tip
Use thick Greek yogurt.
Thicker yogurt makes the dough easier to handle. If your dough feels too sticky, add a small sprinkle of flour at a time until it is workable.
Make It Fit Your Macros
Lower calorie: use reduced-fat cheddar and go lighter on the topping cheese.
Higher protein: use a higher-protein Greek yogurt or serve with eggs, turkey sausage, or cottage cheese.

Storage Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Toast before serving for the best texture.

- 3Add Greek yogurt and stir until a sticky dough forms.
- 4Fold in the diced jalapeños and shredded cheddar cheese.
- 5Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 4 pieces.
- 6Roll each piece into a log, then connect the ends to form a bagel shape.

Breakfast / Weight Loss Notes
Build it into a balanced breakfast.
One bagel on its own is a solid snack, but for a full breakfast, pair it with eggs, egg whites, chicken sausage, turkey bacon, or cottage cheese for more protein.
Best texture move.
Let the bagels cool before slicing. If you cut them too early, the inside can feel gummy. Toasting brings them back to life.
