# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and ensures easy removal of your cottage cheese wraps. Having the oven ready is key for a smooth cooking process.
02 -
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese, 1 large egg, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp Everything bagel seasoning. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform, with no visible curds.
03 -
Divide the blended cottage cheese mixture evenly into two large circles on the prepared parchment paper, spreading each to about 6-7 inches in diameter. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the High Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps are set and firm to the touch.
04 -
While the High Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps bake, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine 6 oz cooked chicken breast, shredded, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 stalk celery, finely diced, 1/4 small red onion, finely diced, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp fresh lemon juice, and 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped. Mix well.
05 -
Once baked, remove the wraps from the oven. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes. This cooling period is crucial as it allows the wraps to firm up and become flexible enough to handle without tearing, ensuring perfect High Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps.
06 -
Carefully peel each cooled cottage cheese wrap from the parchment paper. Lay them flat and divide the savory chicken salad filling between the two wraps. Top with 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved, and 1 cup mixed greens. Roll up your delicious High Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Customization: Feel free to experiment with the wrap seasoning! Add garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs to the cottage cheese mixture for different flavor profiles.
02 -
Storage: Leftover cottage cheese wraps can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Store the chicken salad filling separately for best freshness.
03 -
Filling Variations: This versatile wrap base pairs well with many fillings. Try smoked salmon and cream cheese, scrambled eggs and avocado, or even a vegetarian black bean and corn salsa.
04 -
Parchment Paper is Key: Do not skip the parchment paper! It's essential for preventing the wraps from sticking and ensures they can be easily peeled off without breaking.
