The viral cottage cheese wrap has flooded my Tiktok feed over the last couple of weeks, so I thought it was time to test it out myself. This recipe is truly so easy to make, and a great way to up your protein at lunch time.
Cottage cheese, egg and seasonings get blended together to form the batter, then spread thinly onto a sheet-pan and baked until browned. The wrap comes out pliable and subtle in taste, and can be filled with SO many different fillings.
I personally love cottage cheese on its own, but if you don’t love its texture, this recipe is a great one to try, and truly could not be easier to whip up. It does take a while to bake, so I suggest preparing it 40 minutes before you normally eat lunch!
I loved how simple it was to blend and bake, and how customizable the fillings could be. I filled mine with arugula, fresh mozzarella, avocado and roasted red peppers. Here are a few other filling ideas:
Filling ideas for your cottage cheese wrap
- Tuna, lettuce tomato with balsamic glaze
- Greek style: lettuce, cucumber, tomato, red onion and feta cheese with chickpeas for a boost of protein
- Your favorite deli meat with roasted bell pepper, pepperoncini and arugula
Ingredients you’ll need for cottage cheese wrap
This protein-rich cottage cheese wrap comes together in minutes with just a few simple ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need-
- Cottage cheese– I normally opt for low-fat, small curd cottage cheese, but full-fat would work well here too. The curd size wont matter here since it gets blended
- Egg– I’ve seen some recipes use only cottage cheese, but I love the addition of egg for a little more protein and texture to the wrap
- Seasonings– you can really season this wrap with anything you like. I chose salt and Italian seasoning, but you can keep it even simpler with a little garlic powder, salt & pepper
- Add the cottage cheese, egg and seasonings to a food processor or blender
- Line a small sheet-pan, I used a quarter sheet-pan, with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray
- Pour the batter onto the greased parchment, spreading it as thin as you can without being able to see through to the parchment paper
- Bake on 350 F for 25-35 minutes. Baking time will vary depending on the oven and sheet-pan used. The top should be browned and slightly soft to touch
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then fill with your favorite fillings
FAQ- frequently asked questions
How many does this serve?
This recipe serves one, but can easily be doubled and baked in two separate pans or one larger one
How much protein is in the wrap?
While I don’t normally count calories, I did calculate that this wrap has 35 g of protein alone, not including any fillings
How far in advance can I prepare this?
For best results, I suggest preparing the wrap the same day you plan to eat it. You can make it earlier in the day so that its ready for you when you’re hungry

This turned out amazing. I only change I made was to use cotija cheese instead of mozerella. And I stove roasted my own bell peppers. I wish I could share my modest photos. I also doubled my recipe. Absolutely delectable!
Great idea and thanknyou.
I think I will try with 2 eggs next time as the end result was a bit thin so it cracked in places. I used a similar sized tray to bake.
