• Perfect for creating your delicious Cottage Cheese Wraps.

For the Wraps

Large Eggs – Act as a binding agent while boosting protein content.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Wraps

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare your baking sheet. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking. This step is crucial for ensuring your Cottage Cheese Wraps release easily after baking, so don’t skip it!

Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
In a blender or food processor, combine the full-fat cottage cheese, large eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Blend on high for about 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated. The consistency should be thick yet pourable, perfect for spreading.

Step 3: Spread the Mixture
Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a silicone spatula, spread it into a thin and even rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. This even spreading is key to achieving soft and pliable Cottage Cheese Wraps that you can easily roll or fold once cooked.

Step 4: Bake the Wraps
Carefully place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes. Keep an eye on your wraps; they are done when the top is set and lightly golden. Adjust the baking time if needed, as oven variances can affect the final result.

Step 5: Cool the Wraps
Once baked, remove the sheet from the oven and allow the wraps to cool completely on the tray. This step is essential for achieving the best texture; if you attempt to peel them off too early, they may tear. The cooling process will also help firm them up.

Step 6: Cut and Fill
After cooling, gently peel the Cottage Cheese Wrap off the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut them into sections or leave the wraps whole, depending on your preference. It’s time to fill them with your favorite fillings—whether sweet or savory fills, the possibilities are endless!

Expert Tips for Cottage Cheese Wraps

Cool Completely: Allow your wraps to cool fully on the tray before removal to avoid tearing and achieve the best texture.
Full-Fat Benefits: Using full-fat cottage cheese ensures the wraps remain soft and pliable; lower-fat alternatives may result in a drier texture.
Spread Evenly: When pouring the mixture onto your baking sheet, ensure an even spread; this promotes uniform baking and prevents uneven texture in your Cottage Cheese Wraps.
Choose the Right Cheese: Opt for grated cheeses known for melting well, like mozzarella or aged cheddar, to maintain the integrity of the wraps after baking.
Don’t Skip Greasing: Greasing the parchment paper is crucial; it prevents the wraps from sticking, allowing for easy removal and perfect presentation.

Make Ahead Options

These Cottage Cheese Wraps are a meal prep dream come true! You can make the wraps up to 3 days in advance; simply prepare and bake as directed, then allow them to cool completely before wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap or placing them in an airtight container. To maintain their soft texture and prevent sticking, interleave parchment paper between layers if stacking. When you’re ready to enjoy, fill the wraps with your desired fillings. If you want to prepare the filling ahead, you can store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Assemble and serve for quick, wholesome meals that are just as delicious as when made fresh!
