People were using it in many of their dishes, so I decided to stop just watching other people make it and try it in my own kitchen.

This high-protein wrap recipe takes the basic idea of a low-carb tortilla and turns it into a wrap you will want to eat. We are taking simple ingredients, blending them until completely smooth, and baking them into a flexible, slightly crispy bread.

I have made a few batches to figure out the exact trick to getting the texture right. Some were unsuccessful because I wanted a flatbread that held its shape, had a mild flavor, and actually tasted good.

After tweaking the recipe, I finally nailed the exact method to get that flawless, bendy wrap.

Why This Recipe Works

I love that this recipe is great for people who are on the keto diet. You can get a massive protein boost by just using two ingredients.

It takes five minutes to make, and you can find everything in your fridge. Plus, it is incredibly versatile. You can use it as a wrap for your deli meat, cut it up for pita chips, or just eat it plain with some avocado.

It stores in the fridge, so you can meal prep a batch on Sunday and enjoy your lunches all week.

Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or 2% works best here; avoid fat-free or it gets too watery)
2 large eggs
A pinch of salt and black pepper

Optional mix-ins to switch up the flavor:

Dried herbs such as oregano, parsley, or basil (I usually toss in a teaspoon of Italian seasoning)
Half a teaspoon of garlic powder for a savory kick
A handful of shredded cheddar or mozzarella if you want it extra cheesy
Everything bagel seasoning sprinkled on top before baking

Needed Tools

Blender or food processor (a standard blender works fine, just scrape down the sides)
Baking sheet
Parchment paper (do not skip this, or it will stick terribly)
Spatula

Instructions

Turn your oven on to 350°F. Grab your baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. I cannot stress this enough—use parchment paper, not just a greased pan, or you will be scraping baked-on egg off your sheet for twenty minutes.

Dump the cottage cheese and eggs into your blender. Hit blend and let it run until it looks completely smooth and creamy, similar to pancake batter. Next, scrape the sides with a spatula, then blend for another ten seconds.

Pour that smooth mixture right onto the middle of your parchment paper. Use your spatula to spread it out into a thin, even rectangle. Aim for about a quarter-inch thick. You can also sprinkle your herbs or cheese on top if you are using them.

Slide it into the oven and let it bake for about 25 minutes. Wait for the edges to turn golden brown and the center to firm.

Pull it out and let it sit on the counter for at least five to ten minutes. It needs this time to set up. Once it is cool, peel it off the parchment paper. You can slice it into squares for chips, or lay your turkey and cheese right down the middle and roll it up as a wrap.

Storage

Once the flatbread cools, wrap it in plastic wrap or an airtight container. It stays fresh in the fridge for about three to four days. You can also freeze it.

They last up to two months in the freezer. When you are ready to eat, just let it thaw on the counter for a bit or warm it up in the microwave for ten seconds to get it soft and pliable again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it have a strong cottage cheese flavor?

Not really. The baking process mellows out that distinct tangy taste. It mostly just has a savory, slightly eggy flavor. If you are super sensitive to the taste of cottage cheese, adding garlic powder and herbs helps mask it completely.

Can I use fat-free cottage cheese?

You can, but I really do not recommend it. Fat carries the flavor and helps give the flatbread that flexible texture.

Why did my flatbread turn out soggy in the middle?

This usually happens if the mixture was spread too thick or if your oven runs a little cool. Make sure you are spreading it to an even quarter-inch thickness. If it is still jiggly after twenty-five minutes, just leave it in for another five minutes.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Traditional cottage cheese is dairy, so this specific recipe will not work for a strict dairy-free diet. You could try swapping it with a thick dairy-free yogurt or blended silken tofu, but the texture will be completely different.

Finding a lunch option that keeps you full can be tough. This cottage cheese flatbread can change your midday routine. It takes little effort to throw together, and having a stack of them in the fridge makes me feel so much more organized.
