Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Whisk the Eggs & Cottage Cheese

In a bowl, whisk the eggs and cottage cheese until smooth. The cottage cheese adds extra creaminess and protein without overpowering the flavor. For a fluffier texture, add a splash of milk or water.

Step 2: Cook the Egg Mixture

Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for 30 seconds. Gently scramble or fold the eggs until fully cooked but still soft (about 2-3 minutes).

Pro Tip: For an omelet-style wrap, let the eggs set without stirring, then flip.

Step 3: Warm the Tortilla

While the eggs finish, warm the tortilla in a dry pan or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make it pliable.

Step 4: Assemble the Wrap

Spread the cooked eggs over the tortilla, then add your favorite toppings (spinach, avocado, cheese, etc.). Fold the sides in and roll tightly.

Bonus Hack: For extra crispiness, toast the wrap in the pan for 1 minute per side.

• Veggie-loaded: Add mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini for extra fiber.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with: Fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, or a green smoothie.
• Spice it up: Drizzle with sriracha or pesto for extra flavor.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Overcooking the eggs → They’ll turn rubbery. Remove from heat while slightly soft.
2. Using a cold tortilla → It cracks when rolling. Always warm it first!
3. Skipping seasoning → Cottage cheese is mild—salt & pepper are a must.

Storing Tips for the Recipe

• Fridge: Store assembled wraps in foil or airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Reheating: Microwave for 30 seconds or crisp in a pan.
• Freezing: Not recommended (eggs get watery).
