I was experimenting with leftover high protein cottage cheese wraps from my latest meal prep Sunday when I discovered these cottage cheese wraps completely by accident. What started as a “let me just throw these ingredients together and see what happens” moment turned into one of my most requested recipes. After testing this recipe dozens of times and serving it to my protein-obsessed family, I can confidently say these wraps deliver over 12 grams of protein per serving while actually tasting incredible.
The first time I made these, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from baking blended cottage cheese. But when I peeled that golden, flexible wrap off the parchment paper, I knew I’d stumbled onto something special. My teenagers, who usually run when they hear “cottage cheese,” were fighting over the last wrap. These have become our go-to for everything from breakfast burritos to lunch wraps, and the best part is how simple they are to make.

Ingredients for Cottage Cheese Wraps
I always use full-fat cottage cheese for this recipe because it creates the perfect balance of richness and flexibility. After testing with various brands, I’ve found that the fat content makes or breaks the final texture.
1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (I recommend Good Culture or Daisy brand for consistency)
2 large eggs (room temperature works best – my go-to trick is placing them in warm water for 5 minutes)
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (I usually buy the block and grate fresh for better flavor)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (my preference is California granulated garlic for consistent distribution)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (I always use a blend with basil, oregano, and thyme – McCormick is reliable)
Pro tip: Don’t be tempted to use low-fat cottage cheese here. I’ve tested it multiple times, and the wraps end up fragile and less satisfying. The full-fat version is essential for both taste and texture.
Step-by-Step Instructions
In my experience, getting the timing and technique right makes all the difference between wraps that roll perfectly and ones that crack.
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment with cooking spray or brush with olive oil – this step is crucial for easy removal later.
Step 2: Add cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to your blender or food processor. Blend for a full minute until completely smooth and silky. The mixture should have no visible lumps or curds – this is key for even texture.
Step 3: Pour the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet and use a silicone spatula to spread it into an even rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Take your time here – uneven thickness means some areas will overcook while others stay underdone.
Step 4: Bake for 30-35 minutes in the center of your oven until the top looks set and lightly golden. The edges should pull slightly away from the parchment. Some ovens may need up to 40 minutes, but watch carefully after 30 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Step 5: Let the wrap cool completely on the tray before attempting to peel it off. This cooling time is non-negotiable – it allows the proteins to set properly. Once completely cool, carefully lift from the parchment and cut into 2 sections.
What to Serve with Cottage Cheese Wraps
These versatile wraps pair beautifully with both light and hearty fillings, making them perfect for any meal of the day.
Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese: The ultimate protein powerhouse combination – use these wraps to hold creamy cottage cheese scrambled eggs for a breakfast that delivers over 25g of protein per serving.
Mediterranean Vegetables: Roasted red peppers, crumbled feta, fresh arugula, and pesto create a bright, flavorful wrap that complements the mild cottage cheese base perfectly.
High Protein Breakfast Bowls Components: Break up the wraps and use them as a base for breakfast bowl ingredients – they add structure and protein to any morning meal.
Classic Deli Style: Layer with sliced turkey, avocado, spinach, and a touch of mustard for a satisfying lunch wrap that stays together beautifully.
Cottage Cheese Chicken Salad: Fill these wraps with my protein-packed chicken salad recipe for an incredible meal that delivers over 30g of protein per wrap.
Storage & Serving Tips
Store these wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. I recommend making a double batch on Sunday for easy weekday meals.
For serving, you can enjoy them cold straight from the fridge or warm them gently in a nonstick skillet for 30 seconds per side. Pro tip: if reheating in the microwave, use 10-15 second intervals to avoid making them tough.
These wraps are incredibly versatile beyond just sandwich wraps. I’ve used them as pizza bases (similar to my Cottage Cheese Flatbread but more flexible), cut into strips for high-protein “noodles” in soup, and even as a base for Protein Cottage Cheese Pancakes when crumbled and mixed with eggs.
Conclusion
This recipe proves that healthy doesn’t have to mean sacrificing taste or satisfaction. With over 12 grams of protein per serving and endless filling possibilities, these cottage cheese wraps will become your new meal prep hero. They’re the perfect bridge between my 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Flatbread and traditional wraps – flexible enough to roll but sturdy enough to hold hearty fillings. Give them a try this week!
High Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps
Soft, flexible wraps made with cottage cheese that pack over 12 grams of protein per serving. No flour needed – just blend, bake, and fill!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with oil or brush with olive oil.
Combine the cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a blender or food processor. Blend for 1 minute, or until the batter is silky smooth.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared tray. Use a silicone spatula to evenly spread it out into a thin, uniform rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
Bake in the center of the oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top looks set and lightly golden. Some ovens may take up to 40 minutes.
Once baked, let the wrap cool completely on the tray. This helps it firm up. Then carefully peel it off the parchment paper and cut into 2 sections.
Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese for best flavor and texture. Grease your parchment paper to prevent sticking. Must cool completely before peeling off parchment paper. Store in refrigerator for up to 4-5 days with parchment between layers.
