Frequently asked
Can I prep this wrap ahead of time?
The scrambled egg and cottage cheese filling keeps in the fridge for 2 days. Only roll the wrap just before eating, otherwise it goes soggy. Freshly rolled tastes noticeably better than reheated.
How do I make the wrap even higher in protein?
Swap one whole egg for two egg whites and bump the cottage cheese up to 200 g. That adds around 8 g of protein per serving with no real extra fat.
Which wraps work best?
Low-carb wraps keep the carbs down and add plenty of fibre. Wholegrain tortillas work just as well, keep you full and taste a little milder.
