- 1 tsp salt
- 1 large egg, whisked
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
- Add flour and greek yogurt to a large bowl. Mix to combine (I typically use my hands) to form a shaggy dough.

- Divide the dough into 4 pieces then roll each piece into a ball. Let the balls rest for 10 minutes. Poke a hole in the center of each ball using your fingers then stretch the dough to create a bagel shape.Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Transfer the bagels to the prepared baking sheet and brush them with egg wash.Sprinkle cheese on top then sliced jalapenos.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.Allow them to cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheet before slicing and serving.
