2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Egg Wraps
Description
These high-protein cottage cheese egg wraps are soft, flexible, and incredibly easy to make with just two main ingredients: cottage cheese and eggs. They work as a healthy replacement for tortillas, sandwich wraps, or crepes and are naturally gluten-free and low in carbs. The cottage cheese adds creaminess and boosts protein while the eggs create a sturdy yet tender wrap texture.
Perfect for breakfast wraps, meal prep lunches, or light dinners.
