Tips and Tricks for Perfect Wraps: FAQ’s
What brand of cottage cheese should I use? ONLY USE 4% Good Culture brand. Every brand of cottage cheese holds a different amount of moisture which can impact the wrap. If the cottage cheese is too wet or has too much moisture, the wrap will not set properly. This is the only brand I tested.
How much batter do I add at one time? Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray it with olive oil or avocado oil spray. Add 1/3 cup of the mixture to the hot pan making sure it’s in a thin layer, like a crepe. Let it set for 2-3 minutes. Then, use a spatula to carefully loosen the edges before flipping. Please note that, 1/3 cup seems to be the right amount of batter to get the perfect wrap. It’s not too thick or too thin and it cooks quickly.
Can you add regular oil? No, cooking spray works best. DO NOT over grease your pan or the wrap will get soggy.
Frequently Asked Questions Continued
Can I use frozen spinach? DO NOT use frozen spinach. Frozen spinach holds too much moisture.
BE SURE to wipe out the pan after each wrap with a clean paper towel or kitchen cloth. THEN, lightly respray it with olive oil or avocado oil spray. This step is very important as any crispy bits left on the bottom of the pan can cause the next wrap to stick and break. You want to work with a clean, lightly sprayed pan each time.
Can I use a stainless steel pan? Nonstick pans work best! ALSO, if your pans are scratched or scraped on the bottom you’re not going to be able to easily lift the wraps. The wrap will adhere to the scratched surface in the pan, making it hard to release. You need to have a smooth, nonstick surface to be able to easily loosen and lift the wraps.
My wraps are cracking, why? If your wraps are cracking the heat is too high. If your wraps are soggy, you need to let them cook longer before flipping. You want the batter to be evenly dispersed in the pan like a crepe.

A new fav!
So glad you enjoyed them!
absolutely awful. The one that did come out of the pan (the others just stuck and turned into a burned scramble) tasted horrendous. No seasoning. Absolutely the worst recipe I’ve ever made, I don’t recommend it.
Sorry you had such a bad experience!
Absolutely gross. These did not make “wraps” big enough for that purpose – at least not for 3-4! It would have made 1.5 MAX. I love the ingredients but this didn’t work. Vitamix, fresh baby spinach, large eggs, 4% milk fat cottage cheese that I made sure wasn’t too wet. My pan was medium with nonstick. I’m not sure what else I could have done, except bake instead of pan fry.
Sorry you had such a bad experience. It’s definitely a tricky recipe to get the hang of.
