Cottage Cheese Wraps Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

How to Make Cottage Cheese Wraps: Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, mozzarella, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds. Stir in the chives if using.
Step 2: Cook the Wraps
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick spray or olive oil. Pour about ⅓ cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling to form a thin, even layer (about 8-inch round).
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are set and the bottom is golden. Gently flip with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 3: Fill and Roll
Let the wraps cool slightly, then layer on your favorite fillings—fresh veggies, leafy greens, or thinly-sliced deli meats. Roll up tightly and slice in half if desired.
Cottage Cheese Wraps Notes & Tips
- For even thinner wraps, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to the batter. See this crepe guide for more tips.
- Use parchment paper between wraps to prevent sticking when prepping in advance.
- Try different cheese blends for unique flavors—cheddar or feta work great!
Cottage Cheese Wraps Variations
- Southwest Style: Add chopped jalapeños, cilantro, and smoked paprika to the batter, then fill with black beans and avocado.
- Breakfast Wraps: Fill with scrambled eggs, spinach, and salsa for a hearty morning meal.
- Greek-Inspired: Blend in a dash of oregano and fill with tomatoes, olives, and crumbled feta.
