# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The protein combo from eggs and cottage cheese will power you through even the most demanding mornings without that mid-morning crash
  • You can customize the fillings based on whatever is lingering in your crisper drawer
  • These wraps come together in under 15 minutes but taste like something from a proper breakfast spot
02 -
  • Overcooking the eggs is the biggest mistake here, pull them when they still look slightly underdone since they continue cooking off the heat
  • Room temperature cottage cheese spreads so much easier than cold straight from the fridge
  • Letting the wrapped fillings sit for a minute before rolling helps everything settle and prevents tearing
03 -
  • Use a spatula to press down gently on the folded sides before rolling, this seals everything inside beautifully
  • If your tortillas crack while rolling, pop them in the microwave for another 5 seconds
