2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Wraps (Pan + Oven) Recipe
Introduction
These 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Wraps are a simple and nutritious alternative to traditional tortillas. Made with just cottage cheese and eggs, they are versatile, protein-packed, and quick to prepare. Perfect for wraps, sandwiches, or even a light snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (strained if too watery)
- 2 large eggs
- Optional: garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, or nutritional yeast for added flavor
Instructions
- Step 1: Add the cottage cheese, eggs, and any optional seasonings to a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, about 20 to 30 seconds.
- Step 2: Preheat a small nonstick skillet (8 to 10 inches) over low to medium-low heat. Lightly grease with oil or cooking spray, and let it heat for at least 2 minutes to prevent sticking.
- Step 3: Pour about one-third of the batter (approximately 1/3 cup) into the center of the pan. Tilt and swirl to spread the batter thinly and evenly, similar to making a crepe. It should be thin but not see-through.
- Step 4: Cook the wrap undisturbed for 3 to 5 minutes. It is ready to flip when the top is dry, the edges pull away easily, and a spatula slides underneath without resistance. Flip gently and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and firm.
- Step 5: Transfer the wrap to a plate and let it cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Use the wraps as tortillas, filling and rolling or folding as desired.
Tips & Variations
- Strain cottage cheese with a towel if it has too much liquid to avoid watery batter.
- Add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or nutritional yeast for extra flavor and a cheesy note.
- Cook on low heat to prevent tearing and ensure even cooking.
- Use a silicone spatula for gentle flipping to keep wraps intact.
Storage
Store cooked wraps in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on a skillet over low heat to keep them pliable, or warm briefly in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese for these wraps?
Yes, but full-fat cottage cheese yields the best texture and flavor. Low-fat versions may produce less tender wraps and a drier texture.
How do I prevent the wraps from tearing when flipping?
Make sure to cook the first side until the top is fully set and edges pull away easily. Use low heat and a thin, flexible spatula to gently lift and flip the wrap.

2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Wraps (Pan + Oven) Recipe
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 3 wraps 1x
- Diet: Gluten Free
Description
These 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Wraps are a simple, high-protein alternative to traditional tortillas or wraps. Made from just cottage cheese and eggs blended into a smooth batter and cooked into thin, crepe-like rounds, they are versatile and perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Optional seasonings like garlic powder or Italian herbs add extra flavor, making these wraps a delicious, gluten-free, and low-carb choice.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (strained if watery)
- 2 large eggs
Optional Add-Ins
- Garlic powder or Italian seasoning to taste
- A pinch of salt and pepper
- Nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor (optional)
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients: Add 1 cup of cottage cheese and 2 large eggs into a blender. Include any desired seasonings like garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, or nutritional yeast. Blend for about 20–30 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform.
- Preheat and Grease the Pan Properly: Heat a small nonstick skillet (8–10 inch) over low to medium-low heat. Lightly grease the pan using oil or cooking spray. Allow the pan to heat for at least 2 minutes before adding the batter to ensure the wrap doesn’t stick.
- Pour and Spread the Batter Thinly: Pour about 1/3 of a cup of the batter into the center of the hot skillet. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer similar to making a crepe. The batter should be thin but not see-through, forming a delicate round shape.
- Cook the Wrap: Let the wrap cook undisturbed for 3–5 minutes until the top appears dry, edges start to pull away from the pan, and a spatula slides underneath with no resistance. Carefully flip the wrap and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown and firm. Avoid flipping too early to prevent tearing.
- Let Cool and Serve: Transfer the cooked wrap to a plate and allow it to cool for 2–3 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Once slightly cooled, use the wraps as you would tortillas—fill, roll, or fold with your favorite fillings.
Notes
- Ensure the cottage cheese is well-drained to prevent watery batter and fragile wraps.
- Use low to medium-low heat to avoid burning and sticking.
- Be patient when cooking on the first side; flipping too early may cause the wrap to tear.
- These wraps are gluten-free and high in protein, great for low-carb diets.
