I so enjoy the great viral cooking trends on Instagram. A food trend is, quite simply, my kind of fun. I’ve noticed people want to eat more protein, and as a gluten-free person, for me this Cottage Cheese Wrap trend is perfect protein-dense eating. It’s simple: blend cottage cheese with spices and an egg, then bake it on a baking sheet to come up with a high-protein version of a wrap.
With this recipe (and many TikTok recipes) it’s not about perfection–sometimes the wrap browns more, and sometimes it browns less. Sometimes it’s thicker, sometimes it’s thinner. Sometimes it doesn’t hold together in the same way a piece of pita bread does. We love a good kitchen test, because we love delicious food, so we tested this wrap every possible way and had so much fun, finally coming up with a version we really love.
We focused on stuffing ours with nutrient-dense ingredients, and there is truly no wrong answer. You could make it vegetarian, or you can use options like thinly sliced roast turkey or my delicious Sizzling Everyday Roasted Chicken Breast. You can add my amazing Pistachio Pesto Magic Elixir or my Creamy Chive Dressing. I love to add plenty of olives and tomatoes but keep in mind that you don’t want to use super-wet fillings.
One of my favorite versions was Sizzling Everyday Roasted Chicken Breast with avocado, tomato, arugula, and Marinated Red Onions. Add whatever Magic Elixir or special sauce you love, and you’re good to go! Take a peek into your cupboard or refrigerator and see what inspires you. You can put practically anything into your wrap, and that’s the beauty of this trend.
We noticed that many people used two eggs, but that made the wrap too eggy for me, so we brought it down to one. While using one egg makes the finished product a bit less fluffy, one egg also makes it less damp and more easy to work with. But if cooking trends are your kind of fun, try it both ways and see which you prefer.
