High Protein, Egg Cottage Cheese and Spinach Wraps
Stop what you’re doing and make these high protein, egg cottage cheese and spinach wraps. Made from three simple ingredients, these wraps are perfect for breakfast, lunch or any meal really.
Simply combine the three ingredients in a blender and buzz until smooth. Heat a non-stick skillet and lightly spray it with cooking spray. Once hot, pour the batter into the pan and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Flip and enjoy. It’s that simple.
Tips and Tricks for Perfect Wraps
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray it with olive oil spray. Add 1/3 cup of the mixture to the hot pan making sure it’s in a thin layer. Let it set for 2-3 minutes. Then, use a spatula to carefully loosen the edges before flipping.
- 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.
- DO NOT over grease your pan or the wrap will get soggy.
- 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 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.
- ALSO, if your pans are scratched or scraped on the bottom from using metal in them or from being hard on them, you’re not going to be able to easily lift the wraps. You need to have a smooth, non-stick surface to be able to easily loosen and lift the wraps.
- 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.

These look awesome! Have you ever tried freezing for later use?
I haven’t… I am not sure if they would hold up well. LMK if you try!
Super quick + easy. Am going to try to freeze one to eat tomorrow, but definitely delicious right out of the pan. I filled it with tomato, goat cheese, spinach and a little olive oil!
Thank you for the feedback! Let us know if you have any other tips or tricks!
These are a staple for us!
Love it!
Excellent! Thank you!
Tried this recipe and the wraps turned out great!! Soft, pliable, and easy to roll up. I stuffed with cream cheese, smoked salmon, avocado, and red onion, delish!!! thanks so much !
Foes not work. Don’t be fooled
It’s a tricky recipe. Not for everyone!
Could these be baked in the oven instead of frying pan?
I am not sure… I haven’t tested it. Let me know if you give it a try!
I tried this as recipe follows and tip suggestions (non stick skillet, no scratches, smooth surface, light spray of avocado oil) but it keeps sticking to the pan and falls apart so I just end up making scrambled eggs. Do you have an idea as to what I could be doing wrong ? If so, would you mind sharing any additional tips or advice ? The recipe is delicious as scrambled eggs 😬
Maybe the pan isn’t warm enough? It’s like a pancake, once you get the temperature right, they slide right out of the pan! It’s definitely a little tricky… but glad you still enjoyed! Thank you for the feedback!
I had the same problem at first. Yes, as just a scramble egg very good. LOL
Why does it have to be full fat? I only buy 2% or nonfat and don’t want to buy full fat just for this. If it has to be full fat can I add some butter/margarine instead? Also, have you tried any other veggies?
Amazing…
thank you!!
Hey! Trued this out but was very unsuccessful… got scrambled eggs… However, my pan was scratched and i replaced cottage cheese with goat cheese. Do you think it was the pan ormore the cheese? Thanks! Ps: the “scrambled eggs” were delish😊
Probably both… to be honest… but glad you enjoyed the eggs!
I made this, this morning! It came out perfect! My 12 year old tried it and absolutely loved it! Thank you so much!!!
So happy to hear that!
We tried these as a last minute low carb option and WOW! My first one stuck to pan and fell apart. But once I got the hang of it, my husband, 9 year old & I loved them! Didn’t leave me feeling guilty after eating two with ground turkey 🙂. Definitely will make these again. Thank you!
Girl these are awesome!!! And if you can make a pancake then you can do this!!! Not sure what others were talking about. I used a spatula to go around the edges to see how it was doing before completely going under the whole thing to flip.
I also added 3 egg yolks for some extra protein. I made an Italian style wrap it was amazing!!! Thank you so much for this!!
Can you use egg beaters?
I haven’t tested it, but lmk if you give it a try!
