These 4 ingredient Cottage Cheese Wraps are high-protein, easy to make, and perfect for your favorite fillings. They’re a great light and high protein lunch option that you can stuff, roll or snack on!
High-Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of cottage cheese. Some of my favorite recipes are my Cheesy Cottage Cheese Eggs, Cottage Cheese Egg Bites and Cottage Cheese Ranch Dressing. It’s just so versatile and such a fun way to add more protein to your meals and snacks. Here’s why you’ll love my take on the viral cottage cheese wrap.
- High protein. These wraps pack 24 grams of protein each before you even add any fillings!
- EASY. Blend in the blender and bake. That’s it! Plus you only need four simple ingredients (five if you like Italian seasoning).
- Light and versatile. If you’re not in the mood for a heavy meal, this is a great light option. Use any fillings that you’d like just like a normal wrap (my go-to is turkey and cheese). These wraps can even be used as a taco shell or pizza crust alternative.
- Low carb and gluten-free. As a dietitian I’m not anti-carb or gluten (in fact, I love serving these wraps with some potato chips), but for some those are necessary modifications, making this a great option!

Ingredients
You only need a handful of ingredients! For full recipe instructions and complete list of ingredients, scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of this page.
- Cottage cheese: I recommend using full-fat cottage cheese for the best flavor and texture. You may not get the same result with lower fat cottage cheese.
- Eggs: Eggs are the key to holding these cottage cheese wraps together.
- Mozzarella cheese: A sprinkle of shredded cheese adds more flavor and personally I think is a must for these wraps, since they’re so much different than a traditional wrap.
- Spices: I always do garlic powder and onion powder, and you can do Italian seasoning too if you’re into that (I like to keep it optional since it’s not everyone’s thing).
Variation Ideas
- Mix in fresh herbs. Mix in finely chopped herbs like parsley, dill or basil for a fresh, herby flavor.
- Swap the cheese. Swap mozzarella for shredded parmesan or sharp cheddar.
- Add some spice. Turn it into a spicy wrap with a generous pinch of chili flakes.
- Add flour. Add 1/2 cup of almond flour or whole wheat flour for a firmer wrap with a bit more structure.
How to Make Cottage Cheese Wraps
- Add ingredients to blender. Add all ingredients except mozzarella to a blender.
- Blend. Blend on high for about 1 minute until smooth.
- Pour and spread. Spread cottage cheese mixture evenly into a large rectangle on the baking sheet. Note: Spread using the back of a spoon or spatula as thin as you can without the parchment paper showing through. Be careful not to spread the edges too thin because they’ll get too crispy.
- Bake and cool. Transfer to oven, bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees until golden brown. Let wrap cool completely before slicing in half and peeling off the parchment. Fill with desired fillings, roll and enjoy!
How to store
These wraps are best fresh, but you can store extra in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
What should you put inside a cottage cheese wrap?
Here are some of my favorite ideas:
- Classic club sandwich: Turkey, bacon, cheddar, lettuce and tomato.
- Breakfast wrap: Scrambled eggs, sausage and cheddar.
- Pizza wrap: Turkey pepperoni, mozzarella and marinara for dipping.
- Greek style: Grilled chicken with arugula, tomato, feta and olives.
- Crepe-style: Stuff with sliced strawberries, cream cheese and a scoop of Raspberry Chia Jam.
Jamie’s Tips
Tips for Success
- Spread it thin. For best results, make sure to spread your cottage cheese egg mixture as thin as possible without making it translucent. Otherwise your wrap may be too thick when it bakes.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese. For most cottage cheese recipes like this one, full-fat cottage cheese works best. Good Culture is my favorite because it isn’t too watery like low-fat cottage cheese can be.
- Let it cool. Let it cool completely before removing from the parchment paper so that it doesn’t break.
Cottage cheese wraps are a great healthy option. They’re high in protein and perfect for filling with your favorite wrap ingredients. Regular wraps can be perfectly healthy too, but this is just a fun way to get extra protein.
You can, but the texture will be different. You can make this wrap with just cottage cheese, but it will be much thinner and crispier. Or, blend in 1-2 tbsp of arrowroot powder or tapioca starch. You can also make a wrap without eggs by adding 1 cup of self-rising flour, forming a dough, and then rolling it out thinly (this will be more like a flatbread).
These cottage cheese wraps are high in protein with 24 grams of protein each, providing a great base for sandwich ingredients to meet your protein goals and keep you full and fueled! They’re also gluten-free and low carbohydrate if that’s something you need.
