How to Make Cottage Cheese Wraps
The process is easy! Here’s what you’ll need to do.

- Spread the mixture. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a thin, even layer.

Tips and Variation Ideas
Here are a few more notes on this cottage cheese wrap recipe.
- Take the time to spread the batter in an even layer. This is super important! If it’s uneven, you’ll end up with thinner parts that are crispy and thicker parts that are under-baked.
- Don’t over-bake. You’ll end up with crackers instead of wraps!
- Customize the flavor. You can add dried or fresh herbs, Italian seasoning, or other spices to infuse your wraps with flavor. (I plan on trying these with everything bagel seasoning some day!)
My Favorite Ways to Use Cottage Cheese Wraps
Fill these wraps with grilled chicken, lunchmeat, veggies, or anything else you like! For breakfast, they’re awesome with scrambled eggs and bacon for a low-carb breakfast wrap. You can make them into pinwheels too by layering on hummus and baby spinach and slicing into rounds.
