Print Recipe

A quick, light, and protein-packed wrap combining creamy cottage cheese and fluffy egg whites, perfect for a nutritious snack or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg whites (about 180 ml or 6 fl oz)
  • 1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese (120 g or 4.2 oz)
  • 1 large whole wheat or low-carb wrap (about 8 inches)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped (30 g or 1 oz)
  • 1 stalk green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp olive oil or cooking spray
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: 1 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley, chives, basil, dill, or cilantro), chopped

Instructions

  1. Roughly chop 1 cup fresh spinach and thinly slice 1 green onion. Set aside. Rinse and drain the cottage cheese if it’s extra wet to avoid soggy filling.
  2. In a mixing bowl, gently whisk 6 large egg whites (about 180 ml) until slightly frothy but not stiff. Add 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper for seasoning.
  3. Fold in 1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese, chopped spinach, green onion, and optional herbs. Stir gently to combine without breaking the curds too much.
  4. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tsp olive oil or use a light spray of cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour the egg white mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set and the bottom is lightly golden.
  6. Using a spatula, carefully fold the egg white mixture over itself like a soft omelet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully set but still moist inside.
  7. While the egg whites cook, warm your whole wheat or low-carb wrap in another dry pan or microwave for 15 seconds to make it pliable.
  8. Slide the cooked egg white and cottage cheese mixture onto the center of the warm wrap. Add optional red pepper flakes if desired.
  9. Fold the sides over and roll tightly. Slice in half if desired, and enjoy immediately for the best texture.

Notes

Keep heat moderate to avoid browning the egg whites too much; pat cottage cheese dry if watery to maintain wrap firmness. Wrap is best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated up to 24 hours and reheated gently.
