HOW TO MAKE Cottage Cheese Wraps

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 large egg (optional for binding)
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• Herbs (optional, such as chives or parsley)

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese with the egg (if using), salt, pepper, and herbs until well combined. This mixture will be your base for the wraps.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. A non-stick skillet is best to make sure your wraps do not stick.
3. Pour a ladleful of the mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a thin wrap. You can adjust the size of the wrap based on your preference.
4. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and set. When golden brown, you should feel that the wrap is cooked but still soft.
5. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before using as a wrap or base for toppings.

These steps will help you create delicious wraps that you can fill with anything you like!
