Yields: 1 wrap Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 5-7 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional fillings: spinach, sliced tomatoes, avocado, cooked vegetables, herbs (chives, dill), everything bagel seasoning, hot sauce.
Equipment:
- Non-stick skillet
- Spatula
- Fork or whisk
Instructions:
Step 1: Whisk the Eggs for the Egg Cottage Cheese Tortilla Base
Crack the two eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy. This ensures a smoother “tortilla.”
Step 2: Blend Cottage Cheese for a Smooth Cottage Cheese Wrap Texture
For the smoothest “tortilla,” place the cottage cheese in a small blender or use an immersion blender to blend it until completely smooth and creamy. This step eliminates any lumps and creates a more even texture. If you don’t mind the texture of cottage cheese, you can skip this step and simply mash it with a fork.
Step 3: Combine for the Perfect Cottage Cheese and Egg Wrap Batter
Pour the blended (or mashed) cottage cheese into the bowl with the whisked eggs. Stir well to ensure the cottage cheese is fully incorporated into the egg mixture.
Step 4: Cooking Your Cottage Cheese Egg “Tortilla”
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Once the skillet is hot, pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the pan. Let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the bottom is lightly golden.
Step 5: Flip to Finish Your Egg Cottage Cheese Tortilla
Carefully slide a spatula underneath the egg and cottage cheese mixture and flip it over. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is also set and lightly golden.
Step 6: Add Fillings to Your Viral Cottage Cheese Wrap
Carefully transfer the cooked cottage cheese egg “tortilla” to a plate. Now is the fun part – add your favorite fillings! Get creative with spinach, tomatoes, avocado, cooked veggies, herbs, or a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.
Step 7: Wrap and Enjoy Your Delicious Cottage Cheese Wrap Recipe!
Gently fold one side of the “tortilla” over the fillings, then fold in the sides, and finally roll it up like a burrito. You can eat it immediately or even pack it for later. Enjoy your delicious and healthy Cottage Cheese Egg Wrap!
Tips and Variations for the Ultimate Cottage Cheese Wrap Recipe:
- Cheese: Feel free to experiment with different types of cottage cheese, such as low-fat or full-fat, for your cottage cheese wrap recipe.
- Seasoning: Add your favorite spices and herbs directly to the egg and cottage cheese mixture for extra flavor. Garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika work well in a cottage cheese and egg wrap.
- Sweet Wrap: For a sweeter version, omit the salt and pepper and add a touch of vanilla extract and cinnamon to the egg mixture. Fill with fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of nuts. This variation still uses the core cottage cheese egg wrap concept.
- Make Ahead: You can cook the egg cottage cheese tortilla “tortillas” ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Simply reheat them gently in a skillet or microwave before adding your fillings.
