Hello lovelies, today's recipe is high in protein and yet wonderfully light: a cottage cheese wrap that needs no flour at all. The base is made from just cottage cheese, eggs and a few spices, which bake in the oven into a golden, gluten-free wrap layer. I was genuinely surprised by how well it works – and by how filling a wrap like this is.
The trick is to blend the cottage cheese and eggs with the spices until completely smooth, then spread the batter evenly on the tray. After 20 to 25 minutes in the oven you get a sturdy, golden base that rolls up just like a classic wrap – only high in protein and gluten-free.
For the filling I go with whatever is on hand: hummus as the base, pan-fried halloumi, avocado, tomatoes, cucumber and plenty of fresh greens. Together with the cottage cheese, eggs and halloumi, one serving comes to around 26 g of protein – which makes this wrap a properly filling lunch.
One handy tip: wrap it in baking or sandwich paper first and only then cut it through – that way the colourful spiral holds together nicely and you can even eat it on the go. For meal prep I bake several bases in advance and fill them fresh in the morning.
