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.

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.

Can you use egg beaters?
I haven’t tested it, but lmk if you give it a try!
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!!
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!
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!
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!
Amazing…
thank you!!
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?
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
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!
Foes not work. Don’t be fooled
It’s a tricky recipe. Not for everyone!
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 !
Excellent! Thank you!
These are a staple for us!
Love it!
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 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!
