Easy Cottage Cheese Wraps Recipe Only 180 Calories

Last week, I was staring into my fridge trying to figure out what to make for lunch when I spotted that container of cottage cheese sitting there.

I’d been seeing all these easy cottage cheese wraps recipes floating around social media, and I thought, “Why not give it a shot?”

Trust me, I was skeptical at first. How could cottage cheese possibly turn into a wrap?

But after one bite of this protein-packed flatbread, I was completely hooked! These wraps are now a weekly staple in our house, and Henry keeps asking me to make extra batches for his work lunches.

Check out my complete guide on cottage cheese health benefits to see why this ingredient is such a nutritional powerhouse.

Why You Will Love These Cottage Cheese Wraps

These protein flatbread recipes are honestly a game-changer for anyone trying to eat healthier without sacrificing taste.

Here’s what makes them so special:

  • Super high in protein Each wrap packs about 20 grams of protein thanks to the cottage cheese and eggs
  • Ready in under 45 minutes Perfect for meal prep or quick lunch solutions
  • Only 5 simple ingredients No fancy pantry items required
  • Naturally gluten-free Great for anyone avoiding wheat or following a low carb flatbread diet
  • Incredibly versatile Use them for wraps, pizza bases, or even breakfast sandwiches

Ingredients Needed for Easy Cottage Cheese Wraps

The beauty of this healthy bread alternative is in its simplicity.

You probably have most of these ingredients in your kitchen right now:

  • 8 ounces full-fat cottage cheese (I recommend Good Culture brand)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3-4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For the spinach version:

  • 1 large handful of fresh spinach (add directly to the blender)

I always use full-fat cottage cheese because it creates a richer texture and helps the wrap hold together better.

The Parmesan adds that savory depth, while the garlic and Italian seasoning give it that perfect flavor boost.

Easy Cottage Cheese Wraps for Healthy Meal Prep

How to Make Perfect Cottage Cheese Wraps

Making these 2-ingredient cottage cheese flatbread wraps (okay, it’s technically 5 ingredients, but cottage cheese and eggs are the stars!) is surprisingly straightforward:

Step 1: Prep Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper.

Don’t skip the parchment – it’s essential for easy removal!

Step 2: Blend Until Smooth

Add cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning to your food processor or high-speed blender.

Blend for 45 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture is completely smooth. No lumps allowed here!

Step 3: Spread Evenly

Pour the batter onto your lined baking sheet and use a silicone spatula to spread it into an even, thin layer.

The key is keeping it thin – about ¼ inch thick works perfectly.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is fully set and lightly golden.

Some ovens might need up to 40 minutes, so keep an eye on it during the last few minutes.

Step 5: Cool Completely

This step is crucial! Let the flatbread cool completely before attempting to peel it from the parchment.

This prevents tearing and gives you that perfect wrap texture.

Step 6: Fill and Enjoy

Gently peel your keto friendly wraps from the parchment and fill with your favorite ingredients.

The possibilities are endless!

Easy Cottage Cheese Wraps (5 Ingredients, High Protein)

Storage and Reheating for Your Protein Wraps

These high protein wraps store beautifully, which makes them perfect for meal prep.

Here’s how I keep them fresh:

Refrigerator Storage:

Wrap each flatbread individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper.

They’ll stay fresh for 3-4 days in the fridge.

Freezer Storage:

For longer storage, wrap them well and freeze for up to 1 month.

I like to separate them with parchment paper before freezing.

Reheating Tips:

To warm them up, simply microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side.

They’re actually delicious cold too!

Creative Ways to Use Your Cottage Cheese Flatbread

The versatility of this gluten free flatbread recipe is what keeps me coming back.

Here are some of my family’s favorite ways to enjoy them:

For Lunch:

Fill with turkey, avocado, lettuce, and tomatoes for a protein-packed sandwich wrap.

For Breakfast:

Spread with cream cheese and top with smoked salmon and capers – it’s like a bagel but way healthier!

For Dinner:

Use as a pizza base with marinara, mozzarella, and your favorite toppings.

For Snacks:

Cut into triangles and serve with hummus or guacamole as a chip alternative.

The spinach version is particularly gorgeous and adds extra nutrients without changing the taste much at all.
